bbelos -

You have no issues with any of the nightlies with the reboots at all? All you have to do is pull down the notification menu up top. If it doesn't happen at first, do something else, like open a browser or pandora or something, then try pulling it down again. That is all that it takes to go bi-polar. Weird....
[Epic 4G Android Development] Arson Smith:
If it helps anyone, I think it tends to happen to me the most specifically when I come out of either Facebook or Shazam apps and then try to swipe the notification menu down right away...
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Good news. They have supposedly found the fix for the system restarts. http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/64114/

Look for this in the next nightly and see how it goes. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
FWIW - I've been running your 0514 UNOFFICIAL for over 51 hours straight without hiccup or reboot.

It also "feels" quicker than any CM11 build I've run for the last month or two.

I'll try the nightly, but I will definitely be keeping a backup of what I'm running right now because it's been very stable and snappy.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Elixis:
Are any of you experiencing issues with getting the Google Sound Search widget to cooperate? When I go into the widget menu to drag it on screen, it is not even listed, however it is installed on the phone. If I try to uninstall it through a file manager, it errors out and it is listed in the app store as installed, but there is no uninstall feature. Seems like a catch 22. Any solutions?

Thanks for pointing that out bbelos! I am glad that they have finally possibly killed that bug. That was heavily annoying. Will report back :)

0517 is great.. Just a little lag but no respring or restart when pulling down notification many times during restoring app with titanium backup.

BBM could sound any notification. Autostarts app still cannot detect any app but i guess i dont need to use it again. Playing game (hayday) a little lag. Overall its :good::good::good:

Btw Maybe OOT, but could someone share what call recording app that will work with this ROM? Thank you..

Lol I'm back to this phone after I cracked the screen on my GS3. I went through like 10 cases for that thing and of course the one I pick ends up being the least secure. Time to dust off the trusty ol' reliable Epic.

Flashed the latest nightly and this thing is back up and running solid. You guys using ART or Dalvik? One thing that sucks is my battery is completely dead so looks like I'll have to pick up another one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Elixis:
You're lucky you chose the 5/17 nightly to come back to! This thing is running solid again finally. We've had a nasty restart bug since 04/04 lol

Thank you bbelos & CM team
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
Tell me about it. Plus, bbelos is awesome and still supporting this device which is crazy! At least I'll be able to really test it for him now. Agree, 5/17 is running nice for me. Phone in general is so much laggier than my S3 though, which is obvious due to hardware that is about 4 years old at this point. Still, the fact that it's running the latest OS stable with virtually no major hiccups is pretty awesome. I had to get accustomed to the flashing process on this guy again but I simply repartitioned the phone with the FC09 tar in Odin to put it back to 100% stock, updated PRL, flashed DRockstar's CWM recovery in Odin, and flashed the nightly and let the update script do it's magic with partition resizing / updating CWM.

The upgrade from my S3 is only 1-2 months away anyway so at least it held up for close to the 2 year period. I've dropped my OG Epic hundreds of times though and nothing happened to it; they don't make em like they used to. The screen size is also perfect on the Epic, you can touch all four corners of the screen with one hand which is very practical (Apple's boasted this for years with the iPhone). My next phone will probably be the next Nexus, if Google decides to continue that line, as long as the screen size isn't excessively massive. If it is, well, I will try to replace the screen on my S3 myself.

Doesn't wimax go offline in a few months anyways?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mr_You:
Correct me if I'm wrong, AFAIK:

Last I heard it's scheduled to be decommissioned in 2015. Some point after its decommissioned the WiMax spectrum will be redeployed for LTE. The new towers use Software Defined Radios so hopefully LTE-Advanced might also begin to be rolled out if it only requires a software update on the towers.

I need help.. In kakao talk when i try to sign in, it automatically detect United states +1 then my phone number. I change to Indonesia +62 but it say "Invalid Phone Number". How to fix this? I change in build.prop (operator numeric & alpha) but still the same result..

Thank you..

Update : so i use another phone GSM number and its working without problem.

Downloading 0523 now..

Just for information, not just Link2SD works with this ROM, Mount2sd works too (tried last night with 0522).

Running 0523, i guess everythings good except lag when playing games (tried hayday, table tennis).

This is no longer my actual phone, I upgraded to a note 2 a year

and a half ago, but I've sporadically kept it running on wifi as a

handy little android device. I was running nightlies on it and

occasionally updating it, but not on a regular basis. As it happens,

up until today, my most recent nightly was March 17.

Anyway, today I upgraded to the 5/25 nightly, and I am having an

odd problem. I can't update anything in the Play Store (and several

programs need to be updated because of changes in the Rom) via

my usual fine Wifi connection. I keep getting a message "no connection."

There's also an unfamiliar screen when I open the Play store, with my

email address on the top, and "settings" then "help" listed below it.

Not sure what to do here. Tried wiping data and cache in Google Play,

but that did not make any difference.

My wifi connection is fine, as my browser is still connecting, the problem

seems to be specifically with the play store.

Thanks in advance if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this.

I'm on CM 10.1.3.1, stable release. If I follow steps 1-5 to upgrade to CM 11.0, do I still lose all my data (phone # directory, all installed apps, etc.)? I.e., will I have to reinstall all my apps again after installing CM 11.0?
[Epic 4G Android Development] didhiy:
here's my advice:

- first you need to move all big apps to sdcard to make sure your data partition backup will fit new data partition (which smaller around 150mb)

- make a nandroid backup

- install the rom & gapps

- choose advance menu & reboot to recovery

- restore your data only

- wipe dalvik cache

- reboot to system

that's the way I remember when changing between rom with different partition size

Thanks. I just saw this morning that he submitted them to gerrit. I already have a new build that I should be uploading sometime today.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
I have added a new build to post #2 because I am not 100% satisfied with it's current status. It has a lot of improvements & added features since the last build, but there seems to be some instability that varies partly depending on which gapps package I use. Therefore, I would not recommend updating unless you are aware of the extra headache that may follow, or if you are willing to experiment a little :)

Most issues I experience don't occur until after a reboot. Symptoms may include resetting of launcher/system settings, disappearance of apps such as the gallery or email, loss of home button functionality, google apps crashes... Although not all at the same time. Currently, the only thing that happened to me right now was the loss of the gallery (which is still annoying), but everything else seems ok for now. I would welcome anyone who could find a gapps package that works properly across the board.

The PA 4.4 mini gapps work for me http://goo.gl/mYKmfL the other ones left me with force closes

I originally tried your posted ones had the same issue. Tried pa gapps full package same issue. Only the mini ones work perfectly and use a minimum amount of space
[Epic 4G Android Development] didhiy:
I've been playing around with it for hours, and... yeah, it bring me a bad headache :D lol

I think not the gapps problem, because I only flash the rom only with format system before... Just guessing, I think the problem came from storage stuff that discussed earlier. Every reboot will gave setting lost, system app crashed etc. Sometimes it won't boot at all (bootloop) & wipe data from cwm not solved the loop

UPDATE:

I got the ROM running stable (at least for an hour till now) & no data missing after each reboot, by this steps:

- change /system/bin/recovery & boot.img from previous build (1117)

- I used gapps from dhacker (1119) only less than 1mb left on system partition

- I re-inject twrp 2.4 from my kernel (faster than cwm)
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Nice, this is working much, much better so far. Thinking (well, hoping) that it's due to a couple minor changes to the ramdisk that I will revert back to the 11/17 version. If that works, I'll get out a new build soon (and get some of this stuff merged into the repo).

EDIT: Actually, I'll just upload this one I just flashed for now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
You mean you just reverted some commits to 11/17's, recompiled and it's working properly as tested? Great, can't wait to try out (I guess I'm not gonna sell my E4G after all).

Hi [MENTION=4000778]bbelos[/MENTION], is it possible to remove all live wallpaper stuff from official build to save a little bit space? I think it was recommended by aosp itself for low ram device. And dhacker gapps could be closest to official as pawitp use it for aries cm11 unofficial preview.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Yeah, that's been on my list. I have to track down the changes necessary to have the live wallpapers not included. For this next build, i might just delete them manually before uploading it.

As for gapps, dhacker's are definitely the closest to official right now, so those are the ideal ones to test with.

Issues

Last night I installed the 5/26 nightly and the regular gapps from 5/22 here are the issues I'm seeing

Google search crashing when I do a voice search. It works fine from the google toolbar but when I try to use it in play store or handcent for example it launches then crashes with "Unfortunately google search has stopped"

Also I can't believe there's still issues with launcher.

Bluetooth showing as using up my battery but I have not enabled it

Also, I meant to ask this forever ago but what happened to 4g? It hasn't worked since before the last stable. I think it worked on a JB release some time ago, but is it no longer supported? I rarely enabled it anyway but it was nice when it was working.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
PA didn't work at all for me last time I tried to use it, though to be fair I was on the 10.2 Cyanogenmod.

I still use the 1209 gapps. I believe part of the problem is CM11 has continued to grow in size and we have once again run out of system space. More on that later.

I have experienced the play store issue you describe and when that happens I reboot to recovery, format system, flash cm11, then flash the 1209 gapps again. The play store usually works after that.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Arson Smith:
FIRST OFF: I want to say THANK YOU and that since the last few nightlys I have been having very few or no issues!

Now here is a question/observation/tip (forgive me if this is a dumb question?)

I finally realized the trouble I was having getting Link2SD to use a 2nd partition was because of /system being completely full.

(I see this most plainly by going into Link2SD and checking 'Storage Info')

I can work around this, now that I know the cause, by deleting some goofy wallpapers and also the 'Apollo' app that I never use.

My question is this - is it normal for /system to be so full like that?

Is there any chance that may also contribute to other errors that people have sometimes (?)

Is it possible that is something that should be considered when building each new nightly build - i.e. are there a few silly things in there that ought to just be eliminated for purposes of allowing some breathing room space?

Again, I may not know completely what I'm talking about here, but I just wanted to throw the idea out there for potential discussion...
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Normal? No, I'd say not. Well, normal for us, but not for most other devices.

The epic has less than 1GB to share between /system, /data, and /cache (and a few other things, but we'll ignore that for now). Originally, the /system partition was about 268MB, and that was more than plenty for gingerbread. But as newer android releases come along, just like anything else, it naturally starts requiring more space. We've repartitioned a few times already in the past as you can see here, up to the current paritioning scheme that gives us 458MB for /system. Back in December, that was enough to leave us around 10MB free, certainly not very much, but I was trying to maximize the /data partition (/cache is all but eliminated as it is).

It can certainly lead to errors, particularly depending on what gapps zip is used. I am unable to test everything out there, but the 1209 gapps I do use still seems to work ok. It is unable to flash everything, but I think what gets left out isn't very critical (I could be wrong. It depends on what one thinks is critical).

I don't know what else people are doing to modify the /system contents, but if you are relying on something getting added to /system, then you will certainly have problems.

For starters, before you flash the zip, you can delete some of the unneccessary files like extra ringtones/notifications/alarms (those take up a decent amount of space), any apks you don't rely on (like live wallpapers, or whatever). It requires a little more work to get this automated into the nightly builds, but I will certainly look into some possible actions.

My other step is to once again repartition, which would further reduce the /data partition, but I'm holding off on that as long as I can (might be required soon if the device becomes unusable in it's current state).

Question for developers. I want to start building roms from source. I have a pc with dual core 1.6 ghz processors with 2gb of ram. What os would I be able to use for it to not be painfully slow and be able to be used for coding and developing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
You can look here for some instructions and tips. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_epicmtd. Only a few commands listed there are epic specific, otherwise it should cover basic setup. I'm sure you can find other pages with step-by-step instructions if you Google it. Ubuntu 64-bit is generally recommended (I believe that's what Google uses), but it can be just about anything. Plus ubuntu is pretty easy for newer Linux users.

The OS won't determine your build speed, that is dependant on your hardware Expect long build times with your hardware (I'd guess 8+ hours).
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
I have installed a rom, then sort by size in the application manager to see the apps that take up the most room. I will note the ones I dont care for and delete them using titanium backup after taking a backup (of course). Also tbu allows you to integrate system app updates into the rom. This deletes the original with the updated version so you dont have it twice on storage. Lastly, tbu can move apps into the system partition since free space here is wasted, as well as sd card. Take a backup from cwm, then play with it. You can always revert.

Dont mean to come across as a commercial for tbu, but it was my best friend on the epic, which I still use.

Hey, ?glad? to see others are having issues with link2sd and the 2nd partition....

If I may ask, what issue were you having? My issue: after I flash a new nightly (I keep reverting to the April 30th nightly that worked) link2sd no longer sees/mounts the 2nd partition. On the April 30th nightly I have 11% free on /system...didn't look at it on the newer nightly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Arson Smith:
My specific problem was that it would say something like "Cannot create mount script", and after I sort of caught on to what was happening, then I made a little room in /system and then it did successfully create the mount script. So at this point I've kind of got myself a little system that is working for me, although it is a bit kludgy (sp?) - I can share what I know, and am definitely open ears to any better suggestions/practices!

(FYI - I've started up a thread named "Link2SD & CM11: Optimal Strategies" in the "Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" section if anyone wants to take any conversation about Link2SD over there - I don't mean to get this thread here going off track...)
