[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
All launchers have their own settings app that appears when you install it. The problem is Trebuchet, at least on this build, does not. I have already installed a Trebuchet apk (saved from 10.1.3), and since it was set up the way I like it before I saved it, I'm not doing without the settings I love. But I also found out the hard way that because I replaced the launcher I'll have to wipe everything before updating another Nightly. It won't overwrite like I thought it would, but instead will constantly give an "Sorry Trebuchet has failed" type error.

Not sure what's going on: on the Feb. 2nd Nightly, AndyYan's method yielded the results as I said, and in the settings menu there was no option whatsoever to get that screenshot your posted. In previous builds (10.1.3) there was a "Home" icon I want to say right above or below Lockscreen that gave me a screen similar to the one you showed, when you go into Settings under personalization. Its GONE in my build, so I had to resort to using an old Trebuchet apk. Until I know what is going on, I'm not wiping and flashing another nightly then reuploading my apps over again. I got *a* Trebuchet, with lines on cube effect, and I got great battery life. So I'm fine for now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
If you don't mind using a bit of effort, you can use *another* launcher that can create Activities shortcuts (e.g. Nova Launcher) to access Trebuchet's settings page, even when it's hidden. At least you only have to do this once.

[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
This worked as far as bringing back the home setting under personalization (pic 1), but as far as changing any settings (pic 2), nothing happens. Nothing happens when you click on settings. This is the exact same problem I had with the Jan 25th Nightly. I saw what what I saw in pic 2 just with Launcher and Launcher3, yet couldn't do anything about. That settings button at the bottom simply lights up, doesn't do anything.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
Fyi...the next nightly has the troubouche (or however it is spelled) settings fix per the changelog. Maybe feb4?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
I don't see you've tried my suggestion... Try using Nova's Activities shortcut to access Trebuchet's settings page. If not available then it's really a bug (which may be remedied by the next nightly, anyway).

[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
I deleted Nova cause I don't use it. But the result of reinstalling Nova (I had it in Titanium Backup) brought back the option to go to the screen I showed you in Pic #1. Nova does not let me manipulate Trebuchet options in any way that I know of, not in its on GUI, not on the desktop. In Home/Personalization (Pic #2), it appears under Trebuchet, and when I click the settings button there...it opens up Nova and puts me in it's settings menu.

I'll wait on it, all the same. I'll probably just get the Nightly for Thursday or Friday this time. Thanks for the head's up, though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
You still don't get me... I mean, in Nova launcher, try long pressing the desktop, choose Shortcut, then Activities, scroll until you find Trebuchet, click to expand it, and click Preferences. This will create a shortcut icon to Trebuchet's settings page on Nova's desktop. Try it.

[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
That seemed to work, but then I got errors when I hit the "settings" button in apps. Still, it worked so I'll try this trick next time I flash the newest nightly. :good:
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
[MENTION=4755434]EpicMikeNC[/MENTION]: Looks like you are making the right call. While the settings fix was indeed in the Feb 4 nightly per the CMxLOG site, it looks like there are additional Trebuchet enhancements/fixes coming up in the next nightly tomorrow. By the weekend, you should be set. :good:
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
Has the MMS fix been merged yet? I dont recall seeing it in any of the changelogs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
According to this it is still in review and will only be merged "if necessary".

I'm hoping it happens soon since it definitely fixes MMS on Boost for me and I would love to start running a newer build.
[Epic 4G Android Development] epicboy:
What's this new revolutionary revolution thing in the feb. 7 changelog?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
I am NOT a programmer (or at least not a good one), but me thinks this might have to do with provider based wifi hotspot blocking (and ignoring it).

But I could very easily be wrong too...
[Epic 4G Android Development] epicboy:
[MENTION=4755434]EpicMikeNC[/MENTION] they now added the home setting in the feb 8th nightly. Or so said the changelog.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
Did clean installs of feb 7 and 8 nightlies. Both crash MMS as soon as you try to open the settings so i can tell it to not delete old items. Back to jan 25.

Question for the group...has/does anyone used the cm updater when going from one nightly to another that may be a week or two later? Any issues?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Luthiensdad:
http://epiccm.blogspot.com/2012/01/boot-el30-stock-from-sdcard.html Does this need to be run from CWM? I've tried it with TWRP & it just sits there. Thanks,
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
I have only done in CWM and works great.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Luthiensdad:
thanks for this; as it turns out it WILL work in either recovery, the MultiBoot was not working for me in TWRP because I had been using a custom kernel w/o kexec support. Speaking of which, is there any way to obtain <just> the kernel from a CM11 ROM .zip?

btw Big thanks to Snoshrk for figuring this out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
Get the boot.img from the zip.

Sent from Samsung Galaxy Nexus @ CM11
[Epic 4G Android Development] Snoshrk:
No Problem! :o After banging my head against the wall for most of the day, that was the only thing I could figure was the issue.... by then I had soft-bricked and had to Odin back to GB and reroot etc etc... (but I had remembered to do a full CWM backup, so after I got CWM reinstalled all was good)

I thought I had tried flashing just the CM11 nightly w/o didhiy's kernel, and it still didn't work :( but I don't remember for sure.

If you get the "normal" kernel flashed and the multiboot works let me know! :highfive:

BTW which kernel are you using? didhiy's <Discontinued> Kernel is only one I have been able to find....
[Epic 4G Android Development] Luthiensdad:
I just used the kernel that's in the zip of the CM11 nightly, I assume it has kexec support since the FC09 Utility booted fine that way. Previously was trying to boot it using didhiy's kernel, with the same result as you, no dice.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sesquipedalian:
I'm holding on the last unofficial build for the color calibration. Is that getting merged into the nightly builds at some point?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Weird error

Whenever anyone calls me, I can hear them just fine, and they can hear me.

However, when I call someone, they can't hear me

at all

, but I can hear them.

I thought maybe it was because I was on the Nightly for the 2nd. I was going to upgrade to the Nightly for the 11th anyway, and when I did...exact same issue. :confused:

This is kinda serious, so I hope its a settings issue that I can check/uncheck.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Elixis:
The same thing is happening for me as well. Please let us know what to do. It happens here and there with me, it's hit or miss. Rebooting will fix it temporarily.

Also, if you long-hold the power button while in the lockscreen and try to reboot, you do not get the option to reboot to recovery. That only appears if the phone is unlocked. Just thought that I'd point that out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
I didn't know that. How temporarily? Till the next reboot, till the second call? :confused:

What I'm doing in the meantime is using my Google Voice number, if I need to call someone. But if this is an issue that I'm not facing alone, hopefully it will get resolved. I'm otherwise enjoying CM11 and I'd hate to downgrade back to CM10. :crying:
[Epic 4G Android Development] Elixis:
A few tries later, it will sometimes work. Usually I have to reboot though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dfrhodes:
I am also experiencing this, but oddly only within range of a particular cell tower (downtown Madison, WI). other sprint phones work so I've confirmed its not a Sprint outage. other areas around the city are fine. I'll try running a cell diag app and see i can spot any differences
[Epic 4G Android Development] Elixis:
Also, another bug that appeared around the 1/26 nightly or so, is that if you have multiple alarms set and they go off without being acknowledged, they constantly "flicker" in the notification menu and up in the status bar.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dsmryder:
Have you guys tried flashing an older build? It may help in narrowing down the cause.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Up-to-date build that still contains the color calibration and the mms fix patch. Still working on getting those merged when I have time.

Have a nice day :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Hey any idea about this call problem? Where if we make calls, the other party can't hear us, but if the other party calls us, both parties can hear each other just fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
Running now, will report an weird behavior I notice.

I'll pay particular attention to the call issue noted above, I have not had anything like that on the previous UNOFFICIAL build (1/15/14).

No issues with call audio yet, but bluetooth is devouring my battery.

~ 5 hours run time and I'm at 68% battery (would normally be in the mid 80s) and battery statistics screen is telling me BT is responsible for ~ 65% of the drain.

:eek:
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
I saw the MMS patch got merged a day or two ago, nice work!

I've moved to the 2/14 nightly now because BT on the 0212 UNOFFICIAL is (hopefully now was) killing my battery.

:good:
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
If I may ask, what do you use bluetooth for? Headset, streaming, file transfer? I only ask cause ever since moving from CM10 to CM11, I haven't used bluetooth once. Before I only used it for file transfer (from my computer to my phone but never vice versa). Now I simply do it via USB. I probably should at least try pairing it to see how it functions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
Confirmed. I tried calling someone tonight (2/14/14 nightly) and experienced exactly the same thing (heard them just fine, they could not hear me).

Not good. Between this and the BT battery issue (still killing the battery) I may be reverting to the 1/15 UNOFFICIAL build.

:crying:
[Epic 4G Android Development] darkierawr:
...now I love you?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
Car hands free, paired about 90 minutes per day but minimal actual call usage.

I mainly use AirDroid for file transfers (pics, music, etc) but use USB for larger files.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I'M ONLY 18!!! :eek:
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
I am on the 20140125 build and have no call issues or significant BT battery drain using about 2 hours a day.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
Right, but nightlies before 2/12 or 2/13 don't include the MMS fix I need because I'm running on Boost.

Hopefully these issues get resolved in short order, I would find it hard to believe it's only happening to a handful of OG Epic users.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
I was on the Jan. 25th nightly as well, but I upgraded over a launcher issue (well I simply wanted old school Trebuchet back). I was never able to send/receive MMS even on stock because I have a flashed phone, but a work around was an app I found here. The only downside to the app is you have to disable it/delete it if you want to share something, unless there's a setting I'm unaware of. But it otherwise worked perfectly for MMS for me. Even though Boost uses Sprint towers as well (just minus roaming), I don't know if that app would work for the MMS problem or not.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
I was using 8SMS for a while (it's "stock" MMS with many of the settings made visible for editing), but was hopeful about getting back to a more stock CM install when Brian found a fix.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Ah ok. But you're saying its fixed now? I haven't updated my Nightly, waiting on word about this outbound call issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Elixis:
Likewise - any updates on that, the alarm clock issue, and the reboot to recovery from lockscreen issue? The call issue is obviously the biggest nuisance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
My "workaround" is texting people to call me, if normally I need to call someone first. :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
MMS is (I think) fixed for me on Boost. I still have to manually edit the APN, but at least the stock MMS app is using it unlike before.

The call issue is still there in the 2/14 nightly, I haven't had time to update since then, maybe today or tomorrow.
[Epic 4G Android Development] churninern:
How were you able to manually edit APN? I assume you were doing it thru the *#*#DATA#*#* dial code, but when I tried that and entered my MSL, I got a modem exception occurs error.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
Voice Dialer -> Say "OPEN A P N"

It doesn't always work the first time (you'll get an option to dial someone or run a different app), but keep trying and you should get a dialog box with "Open APN".
[Epic 4G Android Development] churninern:
Thanks, I was able to get to it that way, but which setting(s) did you have to change?
[Epic 4G Android Development] razortooth:
thanks for the ROM. :)

btw Which gapps is suitable for this build?
[Epic 4G Android Development] inameiname:
Home button no longer works in 18-02-2014 build.

After installing the very latest build, 18th February 2014, my home button no longer works. I previously had installed the 16th February build, which didn't have this problem.

Also, none of the four buttons have haptic feedback anymore. This also worked in the 16th February build, but no longer in the 18th.

Hopefully I am not the only one with this issue. Regardless, I thought I would let this thread know.

EDIT: I noticed another issue, after having my display off for a minute or more, or left alone for that amount of time, my lockscreen never kicks on.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
Try wiping and/or reinstalling Gapps, this phenomenon seems to be related to SetupWizard, included in Gapps.

[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Um... maybe?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
Interesting, but if I turn it off will it stay off?

I actually moved to CM11 because I didn't want 4G, but stupid GB kept enabling it and eating my battery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Well, for starters it's still a ways off from getting anything merged into nightlies. This is pretty hacked up just to get this far, and I still need to make sure it's fully working.

And as far as I know, there should be nothing in CM that would automatically enable wimax. If that was happening in a stock ROM (i haven't run stock in forever), then sprint may have had some extra nonsense going on.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spartasr:
Oh my that does look promising :fingers-crossed:
[Epic 4G Android Development] iamchocho:
Guys,

Trying to get my MMS working here . Been searching through this thread and it seems like others are able to get MMS to send and receive on sprint with the latest builds after bbelos's fix was merged. I couldn't get either to work up until last night after flashing the newest build & clicking around in the APN settings and now I am only able to get it to receive MMS but not send, it just hangs on sending forever.

I am on 02/17/14 nightly currently. I flashed this build last night, coming from 02/12/14 nightly. After flashing the nightly I then went into APN settings via voice dialer & clicked around a bit, and after that point I started receiving piles of pictures messages that people have been sending me over the past week or two that I have been back on my epic.

Can anyone using this on sprint confirm if MMS is working for you & if so what build are you on & did you have to do anything special in APN? I see mention of it working on Boost & talk of modifying the settings in here but not for Sprint. I have tried to verify the APN settings (have not changed anything) as much as I can against what I could find online but to no avail. I have also tried restore default settings under the main APN page.
[Epic 4G Android Development] inameiname:
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried reinstalling the latest GAPPS for CM11 (don't know how to wipe the GAPPS package as it is made up of several apks), but it did not fix my issues.

I did get it working but wiping everything and installing the latest CM11 and GAPPS from scratch. Not fun, but it did fix it. I guess these random issues happen when using Nightlies.

Thanks again for your suggestion.
[Epic 4G Android Development] razortooth:
I am on this ROM.

Everything seems great, but Stock Messaging app crashes when I select "Settings" inside the messaging app.

Anybody else facing same problem?

I tried different solutions, like factory reset, wiping cache, dalvik etc.. but it did not help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
Yes. Look up a few posts and you will see that I posted the same. I reverted to the jan25 nightly. Which one are you on?
[Epic 4G Android Development] razortooth:
thank you very much for your reply

, I was on Bbelos unofficial rom 20140212.

Will download the 25th Jan Nightly, and installing it.

will revert you back if any problem occurs.

Anyone has a link to 25th Jan Nightly? I ant find it in http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=epicmtd&type=nightly
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
I don't think they keep nightlies uploaded past a certain date. By their very nature you're really supposed to only have the most current one.

However this would count as one of those few exceptions. Maybe someone could upload it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
Well that blows...I have it but not in a position to upload. If someone else doesn't post, i will in the morning.
[Epic 4G Android Development] razortooth:
Thank you BillyBob3 :)

Bout time I've commented. Been using this since back in November, haven't had any major issues yet.

I don't even use this as a phone but just as a tablet/mobile computer basically. Glad you guys have been able to keep this phone supported!

[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Out of curiosity, the Jan. 25th Nightly doesn't have the outbound call issue, right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
I havent had any call issues. Also, i have not seen any mms issues even though bbelos's fix is not in it. For me, its a daily driver. I do however use nova as my default launcher to correct previous issues with launcher or launcher3.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
I mean as far as you placing a call (outbound), not someone calling your (inbound). the Jan. 25th Nightly is good in that regard?

MMS isn't an issue for me: none of my friends send them. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
Correct. Yes. Si. Sim. Oui. Is Good?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Music to my ears. I'll stick with this one myself till I get word its fixed. I may have to change launchers though. Anyway, thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mpannen:
I would like to add that I am having the call audio issues as well, including the latest 'special' build from 2/12/2014.

Also, my screen will not turn off by itself, I have to power off manually. My phone will time out the screen for a few days after a clean install, but then on requires me to turn it off...weird.

Does anyone know how to keep the PRL update from running?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
1/ What exactly is broke in MMS that Brian's fix is supposed to fix?

2/ Someone previously said that said fix was merged, but I have not seen anything in a changelog. Has it indeed been merged?

3/ Why does is seem that recent nightlies are breaking more than they fix? Is this a factor of only having a couple of people like Brian working on the epicmtd when I'm sure he has a day job?

4/ Should I seriously consider new hardware to a phone where a bunch of devs are putting their time in? Is it finally RIP for the Epic after what, 5 years?

/rant
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
I've already considered and chosen my new hardware, the Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G, or just Relay 4G for short. I'm just trying to hold on until I can afford it. Cause when I get it I'm switching from Cricket to GoPhone as well, since its GSM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
This is the change, and it has been tagged as merged.

What precisely it fixed I don't exactly know, but I do know it made MMS work for me (on Boost) when nightly builds would not work (had to use 8SMS).

Doubtful. I would expect that most of the changes are coming from upstream CM11. I do know what you mean about breaking more than they fix though... I've been bothered by a bluetooth related battery drain issue for a week or so...

Only you can answer that question.

I've debated about upgrading to an S2 or S4 mini (S3 and S4 are too big IMHO), but the OG Epic is still plenty of phone for my daily needs. KitKat is a fairly impressive upgrade, but I might drop back to GB (TPR 2.22) if CM11 doesn't start to come together soon.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
I think the problem is more that there isn't a decent alternative to the Epic 4G unless you are to go to TMobile, which doesn't work for us CDMA users. I bought an S4 with hopes of using a bluetooth keyboard with it, and it's just painful. Nothing like the keyboard for the Epic.

I'm not really so sure anyone likes the touchscreen truly. Everyone I talk to says "Oh, well you get used to touch screen after a while" or "Yeah, I really miss my keyboard phone, but I'm used to the touchscreen on my iPhone". I'm sure if there wasn't a completely gimped version of the keyboard phone to be released, there would be plenty of adopters.

But it is cheaper for the phone companies to make a keyboard-free phone -_-
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
Yea, agreed but the keyboard discussion we can take up elsewhere. My point was that a bunch of devs have simply stopped working on the unique attributes of the Epic and making sure all the little gotchas are quickly addressed in the nightlies. I am content for the moment with the jan25 build but I dont want this to be my last version. There is a lot to be said for dev collaboration.

[MENTION=4000778]bbelos[/MENTION] (and a few others), thanks for hanging in there with us and for bringing us CM11...!!!
