I have five lines on Sprint, 4 smartphones, paying $280/month. A note 2, 2 iCrap 5 phones, my SPH-D710 and one flip phone. The E4GT and flip are off-contract.

Multiple lines are when the math starts working in favor of the contract approach, actually. The slope intercept hits at about 4 lines.

Ballistic cases on the kids' phones and 3rd party insurance takes care of the teenagers with smartphone problem.

Right now it's looking like Google phone upfront for me, flip phone stays on Sprint but off contract. I pick provider and stay off contract. I'll eat the 600-700 upfront, and call it a day.

Oh, thanks, guys.

Wow that's crazy.

We have 3 smartphones and 1 basic unlimited everything it comes out to be $210 altogether. Company discount takes it down to$197 a month.

I just finished my contract and left sprint for Ting, BYOD to Ting (that saved me some money). Now I only pay for what I use, its been 2 weeks and my bill is only $15.

But Ting gets expensive if you use a lot of data, luckily ive got wifi everywhere
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
LOL, did their calculations and this is what I get, "Looks like you belong in the 2%

who would not save with Ting."

So much for that idea...

Bare bones TW

I've been trying to (de)build a true bare bones ROM and I think this base is awesome, SO don't need the functions that are being testy. Managed to whittle down all the unneeded stuff and testing the last few apk's and how freezing them affects the OS. Thank you for porting this, after getting a taste of multiwindow using FX File Explorer I was glad to see this ROM.

I'm stripping out all the Samsung apps, DRM, Cell service apk's, Bluetooth, sync adaptors, basicly everything but wifi, google services (sans syncing), apk installing, and file downloading. Can always add stuff back. Where I'm getting a bit inundated is the directories like /system/lib and directories like that and also ripping out unneeded things that scripts and such are calling for. I could do it by trial and error, maybe watch a live stream of the kernel (in multiwindow!) but if there is a source out there that breaks down the components of a TW /system contents I'm missing it. Any pointers in the direction of a source of info would be greatly appreciated.

:gasp: v1.1!

Oh btw, thank you for doing the symlinks the way you did, file by file is a pain when it comes to clearing out preload.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
The system support files is going to be hit and miss I'm afraid. There may be a file list for lib files somewhere but I've never run across one. The original SHOstock rom is only about 380 mbs and the link is on the OP. You may be able to compare the two to see what I've added if you want to strip some of the s4 stuff I added out of it too.

Man, the alliance backup tool is amazing, from what I can tell its even pulling the real APK out of the real path instead of deleting the symlink only like that "other" backup tool we all have prolly used from time to time (if an option to follow symlinks other then the one in trouble shooting in the preferences, i ain't found it.). and no funny structure, just a straight, clean, apk for safe keeping. I really like it, simple but perfect.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] flamand:
This rom is great so far. Thanks tdunham.

Is there a way to get an airplane mode toggle in the notification bar?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rbaucom:
I wanted to say thank you for such a great rom, I had made it my daily driver. I am now going back to stock because I am getting the note 3 today if it's available.

I cannot say thank you enough to everyone inside the community that has kept our s2 working as a new phone when the carrier did not support the latest release fast enough.

I hope to see the same type of love in the note 3 Sprint forums.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rbaucom:
Got my note 3 black.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Screenshot?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rbaucom:

Can't figure how to turn on the put your hand in front of it and swipe down for the screen shot. Had to use the power plus home button
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] comptonhubbard:
just went down to best buy to check out the n3...Man that thing is the truth!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] comptonhubbard:
It's awfully quite in here...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rbaucom:
Maybe they are all in the note 3 section?

I haven't done root yet to my note 3. I'll be using my secondary line to provide a hotspot.

The note 3 is awesome. I think it's the first time I've been satisfied with a phone. Both of my s2 had crappy gps, and the week before I got my note 3 I was having to greenify each app and wait for each application to load.

I'm thinking now it might have been SwiftKey and it's new cloud link.

I'm going to wipe my s2 and try it out without the cloud link portion.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mlock420:
Forget the note 3 this Rom is cool I like the theme that perfect black and blue... Multi window looks good as well... Good ish.... Thanks dudes
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
I love running this Rom but when I'm on it everyone wants to send me mms! When I'm on project x no one sends me any mms lol, the struggle.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
I just use snapchat for MMS so it doesn't bother me at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
Yeah I usually use kik but my friends that and the most mms don't use anything but texting. Btw didn't an update come out for this? I could have sworn I saw it get updated a few pages ago to 1.1.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Are u talking about snapchat getting updated?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Cricket Droid:
Page 42 post 413 is t_dunham's update to 1.1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
Wow for some reason tapatalk wasnt pulling up anything and i even went backwards to page 25 lol. Thank you, looks like i overlooked while going backwards.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbradf44:
Xda on tapatalk has been acting strange lately
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] isanchez340:
is this rom still updated:confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] comptonhubbard:
he isn't doing anything else with this ROM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GIGZ1971:
How does the multiwindows work
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
It's a little difficult to explain typing it out. Check out Samsung multi window videos on YouTube. I would link but I'm on my phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GIGZ1971:
Thanks I got it working how f**king awsome..great job TD!!! Since TD is not doing anything with this right now.. I wish [MENTION=4310299]bilgerryan[/MENTION] would use this as a base for a Rom
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
It's an excellent rom! Add AIO mod and you got a really nice rom. The speed is great but the only bad part is MMS which is why i dont run it as a daily.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Yep, same reason I don't use it as a base.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VirtueToVice:
Yeah the incoming mms is the one flaw this ROM has. I decided to run alogcat with "incoming" as a filter. I then had someone send a pic message and got this in the log shortly after the message sent

V/PhoneErrService(24445): Handling incoming message: { what=0 when=-11ms arg1=1 obj=Intent { act=android.intent.action.TIME_SET flg=0x28000010 cmp=com.sec.app.RilErrorNotifier/.PhoneErrService (has extras) } }
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ankurcshah:
Is there a way to change the icons in the notification toggle as i'd like to use the stock ones. Other than that I love this Rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rollablunt420:
I don't know if the developers have caught this. When try to change your mmsc by dialing ##3282# it doesn't allow you to edit it. With being a virgin mobile customer that would really help out alot if we can get into that setting.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
This is ported from another device, that functionality will not work.

Slithering from the nether regions of a twisted mind and tarnished soul
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
There is a dialer codes fix in post #3.

Just so you know, MMS & 4G does not work with this rom and never will as this rom was ported over from another Galaxy SII variant from another provider. Other than that, everything else should work fine.

The ROM is still worth a try. There are a bunch of features in this rom that are not on any of the other E4GT roms such as ROM Control and Multi-Windows.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mataflakitas:
Amazing rom is very fast ...im very happy congratulation Dev....:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
Has anyone tried textra SMS app with this ROM?

Downloaded rom and installed textra.i can send text send pics .receive text but not pics as of yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
I honestly don't know why I'm not using this ROM, I don't have MMS with my carrier and don't use 4G... Maybe I'll tinker with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
Yea that would be awesome if you would, I dont care too much about mms anyway aslong asi can send and receive text.i just dont understand if this textra app works why cant someone get another messaging app to work like maybe your modified messaging app ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
The only mms app that would work is one that goes through non-sprint servers but both parties would need to be running the app for it to work properly. I can't remember which one that was. I know you can send to yourself to test it out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Last version was actually posted here btw:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45998640&postcount=413

I guess I should finish this and post a final. Not much interest though and I got tired of the whining about mms (which I don't use anyway either).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
Aww, I will download that one.and I agree finish this.everyone knows about the mms so should be no more complaining.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Just write "MMS and 4G will NEVER work on this ROM, don't ask about it" In the OP somewhere. Seems like people just check every once and awhile now, it might have been missed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
The SecMMSmod might fix MMS for some. The mods are ported from the I9100.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Well there have been 17 more downloads since the quoted post, I think you may have been wrong about the interest.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
With the rom optimizer in settings , its like aosp.best of both worlds.awesome job TD.

Bil, I installed your xplosion mod.and messaging mod, have to test the messaging .this is cool, something new to play with now.nice

---------- Post added at 06:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ----------

Same.i can send messages and pics .receive messages but not pics.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Oh well, at least you have it natively now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
Yea its good enough for me.and multi window? I have the side bar but if I pic 2 apps it doesnt open where I can see both.how do you do this.lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
There should be a bar that you can adjust, I'm about to load this up when I get home and I'll be able to tell you for sure, it's been a bit.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
Ok.dont flash 3minit with this causes ui to shutdown.plus dont need it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Not all applications will display in multi window btw.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
I am not sure if its working in this build,but anyway this ROM is freaking awesome,I hope you work on an update for this baby, and bilgerrayn here is a perfect base for you to do something little different with,I can't beleive this ROM sat all this time,screw MMS , I mean you can send .thank you TD for porting this baby over.I am not a ROMbuilder but if no one wants to do anything with this I will try something. I always wanted a touchwiz aosp hybrid ROM.this is it awesome :good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
It was working fine for me (I restored my nandroid for now), make sure you have it checked in settings, it seems to disappear after a reboot and you have to toggle it on and off. Really sweet ROM TD, I had some trouble downloading it but running this was enjoyable. I made a backup so I can go back and play around, but I have perfected my setup on PX and I don't wanna switch setups when I have to work in the morning. I think I might make a theme for this tho, it would be fun to theme MW and some other stock stuff I always remove because I'm a minimalist. I was having fun messing with the newer TouchWiz apps tho. I've been so focused on getting stuff from other devices that I forgot about a lot of this stuff.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
Yes I see that you have to reactivate MW but I still can't seem to get it to work, I debloated almost all Samsung apps, switched out launcher with xperia launcher.added some modules,Xplosion audio,switched out keyboard to Google keyboard, heck pretty much a whole different ROM now.oh and Walkman player.

I basically don't care about the MW ,but I love the alliance ROM settings, that's what makes it like aosp.as much as I love project x I think I am going with this for now.the only way I know how to make a ROM is from you bil,what you posted in project x variants, maybe later I will try to put out what I am running.i just don't have the patience to sit in front of my PC,I can sit on phone all day,lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
I am pretty sure you have to be using the TouchWiz Launcher. Look I'm the same way, that's why I got myself a little apktool for Android, isn't quite there yet, but works for some purposes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
Huh,well that stinks,lol

---------- Post added at 02:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 AM ----------

I restored touchwiz launcher,no go.it just opens the apps on top of each other,same as when Iuse the xperia launcher.oh well.iI probably have to reinstall ROM but not going to.hoping TD puts out an update,fingers crossed,lol........apktool ? ..interesting.lol.;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I'm working on an update for this ROM but it may take some time. I haven't run this in a while and want to go through it a little to see what may can be changed or improved.

Also, sorry for the bloated 1.1 beta. I was in my ported apps stage so most of that will not be in the next release.

[MENTION=4310299]bilgerryan[/MENTION] - which apk files have to go into system/app to make this a little more compatible with Stangdriver's mods?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
It's basically a giant morph zip, it should work already
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
Tonight after work I'll test it out,but doesn't system ui needs to be in system apps.and I noticed that it has two preload file the normal one and one in data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Yes, systemui is in two places and already fixed that. I'm pretty sure it needs to be in system/app for the mod to work properly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Yes SystemUi and SecSettings need to be in system/app, the rest can be in preload.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
Moved sec.settings to system app and flashed missing link, only changing one thing.blackout mod.and it works.

But funny thing is today I was on project x flashed my backup of this rom and it doesnt show the two preload files any more.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Man, I miss this rom. I forgot how fast and clean it was.

Finished a few things.

- Replaced call recorder with the one we use in our other JB Touchwiz roms so I could delete the record button and have call swapping back right. Also removed the phone mod selection from Alliance Control. The phone settings are controlled right from the dialer.

- Removed most of the ported and stock apps.

- Removed 'Roaming Indicator Off' so it would not display in the lockscreen and elsewhere.

Just wondering if there was anything else I should be looking at.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Sharks with friggin lasers attached to their heads, is that so much to ask?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
Sounds good to me,can't wait to try it out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I have a network project this afternoon but I think it's just about ready.

I'll upload it tonight or tomorrow morning possibly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
Sounds good TD,thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
ShoStock v1.3 is now online.

Volume wake mod added to post #3.

Call recorder mod settings are now accessed from dialer because I needed the option to remove the record button to make call swapping easier.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Ummm... Where? Links in OP go to v1.0
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Sorry, I copied over the new links to the OP but I guess it didn't save or something. It's been fixed, thanks. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 14u2c:
Can I flash over or fresh flash
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
I just did a dirty flash over v1.1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Ok cool, I was going to say no and write a script for you to flash first because I moved a few system files around.

I'd say make a backup of what you have if you're attached to it first, then have at it and let us know how it goes. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Good job on this, real fun to play with
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
Clean flashed.good job TD.i love it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
Multi windows works with xperia launcher.;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
It should work with any launcher none of the code is tied into launcher apks. Its all in frameworks and system ui. The only thing that would affect the launcher would be if someone wrote one that hooks methods in framework to add features that otherwise wouldn't exist.

Slithering from the nether regions of a twisted mind and tarnished soul
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Cool, I wasn't sure, I left MW to the people that were already working on it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
I was wondering if you should change or add something to the op title so people know you updated this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
There's a note in the changelog. I don't foresee a lot of people using this due to the MMS restriction anyway but it's definitely got a lot of stuff in it that none of the other Touchwiz builds do so that makes it worth a look just for fun if anything.

I'm running Calk's 3.0 at the moment. I forgot how nice the GB builds were and expect to get several days life out of it with my extended battery. I think I'll release a modified Calk 3.0 GB build if I have time. My needs are pretty basic so I probably won't miss JB anyway.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
Calk's 3.0 download link is done, any chances of maybe sending me a pm of a link, love to try it out.as of you my needs are basic too.and as far as putting out a modified jb caulk 3.0, that would be cool.everyone likes new roms.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
There's already a JB version.

And I posted a new download link for the Gingerbread version in his thread as one of the very last posts.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Custom Calkulin GB rom is almost complete. I will post it when I think it is ready. I think I'll run it for a day or so and see how it's doing first.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
Cool, and thanks about that link.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coolguy001:
Will charging light work for this build? Thanks for the great work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Funny, I think you're only the second person to say anything about that. The phone this build was ported over from does not have a charging LED so the rom does not support ours either. That's why no 4G either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
My favorite part of this ROM is when you long press back to kill it says "App terminated by The Alliance" lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
There are so many cool things hidden away in this rom.

Have you checked out the rom customizer app yet (it can be used on our roms too)? It has root browser plus the best part is you can pick a flashable mod from a file browser and it does all the work for you (reboots the phone into recovery, flashes, then boots the phone back up into the rom). No more having to find a flashable mod scrolling around in recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Yeah I'm steadily adding to the list;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] monkeyrasta.702:
will mms work with another messaging app?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GIGZ1971:
The only thing I would suggest is "Go SMS" and change the "mms url" in the settings. Otherwise probably not
