One more quick build added to the OP before 4.4.1.

Notable changes:

- low_ram set back to false

- Selinux is running in Enforcing mode

Now with selinux, let me know if you notice anything not working that was working before, and if possible provide a copy of /data/misc/audit/audit.log if there is anything listed that could relate to the issue. My experience has been unaffected so far by the switch to enforcing, but who knows what else could come up.

Forgot to mentioned that i had done the wipe/format of system and data before installing and i could flash any rom afterwards had to odin back to stock and retry. I did try the SuperSU and it installed fine it said, after reboot i got black screen of death and couldnt boot into rom but i could boot into cm

[MENTION=4000778]bbelos[/MENTION] have you tried making a test build for cm12?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
I have, recently as a matter of fact. I can get as far as the bootanimation but its stuck before launching the zygote. There must be a service failing which holds up the rest of bootup.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jshugzda:
Too bad I was sure you would give it a try ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Darkangels6sic6:
Wow. These nightlies have made this device far more responsive and fresh compared to GB. And virtually no bugs!

I only noticed two main things.

1. As mentioned above the newest version does not let you use advanced reboot. It just hangs.

2. You have to hold Fn/Shift key to get caps or symbols....which is not so bad.

That aside from the every now and then lock up.

I do wish we could get a more decked out and efficient kernel though. I mean overall the 1.2GHz combined with Kitkat runs well. But live OC and higher rates with some other mods would be sweet.

On the People's Rom "GB" I was using, I actually got comparable or better battery by OC'ing to 1.5GHz and setting it to scary because it worked more efficiently.

I even wish we could get stripped down bare bone versions of Touchwiz KK so we could use the Samsung account and features.

However what we have is way better than it ever would have been and Mods did a lot.

PS No SDlink has been used yet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Darkangels6sic6:
Ok. Noticed another issue that's getting really annoying now!

Every time I about have everything set up I lose audio....and I have to start over!!

And there are still the hangs needing battery pull which for md causes a gamble if I will return with the same battery life or 5%
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mr_You:
Why not stick to M12? Very stable for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Darkangels6sic6:
Hmm. cmbrowser seems to cause constant reboots. Odd.
[Epic 4G Android Development] webslasher:
yeah i have the battery drop issue too, usually the battery percentage will go up to certain percentage depending on how much battery you had before you did the battery pull
[Epic 4G Android Development] samep:
The battery % drop issue is most likely a Samsung battery. Don't bother with battery calibration; that was a debunked placebo effect. I had some third party batteries by chichatec.com that didn't do this on stock or CM but finally did as the batteries started showing wear. I could get 5 hours of screen on time with one those but slightly less with the other one. They were 2000mAh rated for s3 on Amazon a long time ago. Traded my epic on a note 4 at best buy on that promotional $200 trade in last October with the original battery still getting a minimum of 3 hours SOT on CM11. A lot of charging cycles on those three batteries. I went through 2 of those external mini wall chargers that plug directly into the outlet.

The Note 4 stock battery does the same % drop on reboot. About the only thing you can do is power down the phone and charge again after reaching 100% to get fully charged. An indication of the necessity may show if you unplug and the phone indicated less than 100%. But you could also just plug the charger back in. External charging seems to consistently give 100% and fresh batteries cycled seem to give slightly more SOT.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Darkangels6sic6:
Yeah, but the powered off charging animation shows proper battery.

It's mostly an issue of older devices.

Sometimes charger helps fix it if attached when rebooted it attached and rebooted a couple times.

kernel inquiry

So there are no other kernels that will work with this rom at all?
[Epic 4G Android Development] epicboy:
I'm pretty sure notest kernel would still work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bill720:
Voodoo

Do you know if Notest supports the Voodoo control tweaks?
[Epic 4G Android Development] epicboy:
Yes. I believe both voodoo color and sound are integrated into the kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bill720:
Affirmative

Great! I'll have to give it a try and see how it works.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bill720:
Observations

It worked! CM11 M12 and the Notest kernel are up and running on the Epic. So far, so good. Color temperature correction is a no-go and I do get an FC from com.android.phone when the device boots up, but it's smooth sailing as far as most everything else (including Voodoo control for audio) is concerned. Even Bluetooth, which never really worked right in CM10, has been dramatically improved and is almost 100% functional now.

That browser that's included in KitKat though, that's a step back from the old AOSP browser.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Elixis:
I am currently having an issue with my phone. When I make or receive a phone call, I cannot hear the person on the other end, but they can hear me. I know that this is not hardware related because the call function on WhatsApp works perfectly fine both ways. Does anyone know which files deal with the earpiece during a phone call in the stock dialer? I've deleted dialer.apk and incallui, trying to fix this, but to no avail.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Assassindeity:
So is the general consensus around here to not download the google play services? I downloaded the small version and it seems that any app that i try to download doesn't work in the the store.
[Epic 4G Android Development] samep:
That's interesting. I don't have the epic anymore but if you remove Google Play Services or GmsCore.apk from gapps and flash, applications that need it should direct you to Google Play to download it. You may have to edit the addon.d folder to not backup older versions of it, keeping it in system.

Or you could wipe system and flash CM and modified gapps. I still recall the method to pack GmsCore.apk for system installation with gapps. It's easy enough to do: remove the lib folder and replace the old lib files in /system/lib with new; rename the apk as GmsCore.apk. These files can placed in gapps and flashed as well. Google Play is simply Phonesky.apk renaming.

I'm basically describing an update to the gapps I supported the epic with when I had it. The links are still live last I checked. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54311243&postcount=1

I can update, if needed. But can't guarantee a fix. All flashes in XDA imply, "user assumes all risks". I could pull the latest of my phone and update. Let me know.

Best wishes for resolve.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Assassindeity:
Thanks Ill try out your gapps instead and see how it works.
[Epic 4G Android Development] samep:
I haven't updated that since I upgraded. I know the Google Play Services and Google Play apps are outdated. So even if it works temporarily, the apps will update in data partition. Hopefully it still works after that.

When changing gapps, it's best to clean install to prevent issues. You need to backup app data and wipe system and user data or factory reset and also wipe system prior to flashing CM and gapps.

For a short period before bbelos de-bloated the CM11 for epic, making it minimum, I was suggesting to flash the gapps first. Then install CM11. As far as know, it's no longer an issue. But be aware that my gapps will de-bloat as well as give you a custom keyboard that may also need updating. I don't know what you guys prefer these days.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dante of the Inferno:
The final Snapshot build for CM11 is out today (06-26-2015), so unless bbelos out his hidden Lollipop build, then this is the end of the line for the venerable Samsung Epic. It's been a great run.

[Epic 4G Android Development] volDeus:
Anyone have a 4.2+ release laying around? I must have gone through at least 100 dead links today. Somebody has to have it sitting in the dark corner of their file server or something.

And please don't waste my time or your own crying about the necro or dismissing the usefulness of the device. This is the best place to ask and I have my reasons for keeping a couple D700s in service. The solution they're going to be a part of is dependent on soft that won't run on the 4.0.4 CM they we're flashed with last..

Thanks so much to anyone who may be able to help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
I was also onto older devices (just bought a T-Mo S2, actually)...

We Chinese got a download software called Thunder that would magically revive dead links from nowhere with a chance of success - I fed it dead official download links and it pulled CM9.1/10.1/10.2 for my S2 from who knows what server on Earth. Happily running 10.2 on the S2 now.

Unfortunately for Epic we ain't so lucky, all I could get right now is CM10.1.3.1, which is the last release of CM10.1 (Android 4.2.2). Tell me if you'd like it.

Sent from Google Nexus 6P @ LineageOS 14.1
[Epic 4G Android Development] volDeus:
Absolutely, 4.2 is the minimum requirement for the apps I need to run. Thank you so much for the response. How would you like to get it to me? Should I send you a cloud storage link with write perms?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
Here, hold this.

I verified the integrity of the file by comparing the SHA1 hash of the file to the one posted on the CM download page (which can be reached using archive.org).
[Epic 4G Android Development] volDeus:
Thank you so much. I have sent you a PM explaining why this is so important to me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bill720:
Future uncertainty

That's quite chilling, frankly. Nobody thought anything of it four years ago when all of this was still being published to any old filelocker, but it becomes an increasingly-large problem as time goes on when the download links haven't been maintained. It makes me fear for the future of these devices, since good links are only going to become increasingly difficult to find if nobody makes any effort to archive and mirror them.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
Indeed, but I don't see that as much of a problem, since existing owners will have to let go of those device some day, and few people like me would intentionally hunt for legacy devices...

Sent from Google Nexus 6P @ LineageOS 14.1
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bill720:
Fair point, but still troubling

Fair point, but somebody's getting those phones after we've moved on from and sold them, so there's definitely still need for these packages to be available for those folks.

I recently bought a new Epic 4G, and had to do some detective work to find the stable Cyanogenmod images. I have found all of them, and I verified the MD5 sum values are correct. For further reference:

CM 7.2.0 Stable: http://pubmirrors.reflected.net/pub/.../jenkins/5080/

CM 9.0.0 Stable: http://pubmirrors.reflected.net/pub/.../jenkins/5801/

CM 9.1.0 Stable: http://pubmirrors.reflected.net/pub/.../jenkins/7077/

CM 10.0.0 Stable: http://pubmirrors.reflected.net/pub/...jenkins/12604/

CM 10.1.0 Stable: http://pubmirrors.reflected.net/pub/...jenkins/32364/

CM 10.1.1 Stable: http://pubmirrors.reflected.net/pub/...jenkins/34070/

CM 10.1.3.1 Stable: http://pubmirrors.reflected.net/pub/...jenkins/43046/

You can verify the MD5 sums on your own by looking for the original cyanogenmod.org Downloads page in the Wayback Machine at archive.org.

I have been unable to find the Clockworkmod image cwm5-bml-d700.tar linked originally from the cyanogenmod.org installation instructions page. It has a MD5 sum value of 9ae119a8202d594226e88796dfb8d0c2

If anyone has that file and can post it here that would be great.

BTW, you can also get nightly builds from that site. You need to pick the correct directory.

I have a March 2013 release of AOKP, (which, I think, is 4.2 or 4.3) as well as CyanogenMod 9.1 (ICS) and CyanogenMod 11 (KitKat). Domination Rom from 2013 (4.2.2) is also present
[Epic 4G Android Development] Swingball:
Hmm okay. Could you check what Android version AOKP is and make sure it's stable?

And check if the Cyanogenmod 11 build you have is stable?

I just wanna be sure, thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bill720:
I believe they're all stable, since I was using them on my daily. The filename for AOKP is aokp_epicmtd_unofficial_Mar-06-13, CM11's is cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-epicmtd. I have kernels that go with each of those too.
