Read what is included in the gapps in the op link for gapps I tried to post link but couldn't, says Google experience launcher replaces the stock launcher,but your right about finding it else where also.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
Good catch I missed that....to much reading today lol, sorry about that.

It says right on the top it includes google launcher.

and I could have sworn the link on the first page of this thread gave a direct d/l for gapps, maybe I was hallucinating.

I grabbed the modular gapps and that's the one I had issues with, the full works for me, only thing is I could never get the side google window, or get the voice part to work, probably due to I didn't turn on wifi and had no data, but I would think the side window would still be available even without dat of any sort...maybe not though.

I just thought of something to, I wonder if people are using the camera from this gapps (the Google PhotoSphere Camera/Gallery²) , on their roms, and that's why it's having issues, because slimbean rom, and the 4.4 one both have the identical issue of the can't run it above 420SD (no HD at all), seems a bit coincidental
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
For Side window ,you hit the hard key settings button and then settings,switch on Google search I think it is called.lol far as speech I didn't even know about that saying Google now or what ever it is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
cool, thanks for the tip, I'll have ta remember that for when things get all ironed out....I feel like a kid at xmas I can't wait to open my new present...in this case 4.4kitkat! lol.

Yeah the speaker thing is kinda cool, but works quite a bit smoother on nexus, as that's what it was designed for mainly....I'm sure it'll work itself out tobe as smooth on others soon......all you have ta do is say "Ok Google" at the home screen and it pops up the voice search....very cool feature.....do a search on youtube for "google launcher" or "google launcher experience" you'll find a few on there.

I first saw it on a video from Phandroid.com.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
Thanks I will check it out, and same here, can't wait til data works.I want this ROM as my DD.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
just outta curiosity, how do you tell what camera you have installed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
Not to sure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HighxVoltage:
Go to /system/app

The one that is included with CM11 called gallery2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
I have gallery2....so I assume that gallery and camera are tied together, if so that means I also have the newer camera as well?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
Have you tried using Google now on the S2 port? I haven't been able to use it at all so I just chucked it up to one of the bugs. I kind of miss my loud speaker volume now. That's one of the reasons I never ran cm after 9. I just finished replacing the speaker on my S2 and it was sounding like a boombox lol. My nexus 5 on the other hand, I end up missing calls.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
I haven't tried that yet, not sure I will, since they have the 4.4 rom out, so I think I'm gonna wait for them to fix 4.4 and then use it instead.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
I mean the "hey Google"feature on this port on the Google experience launcher. There's another 4.4 Rom here on these forums for the Epic 4g touch?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
As far as I am aware of no. A lot of 4.3 roms out for this phone but this is the only 4.4 out for this particular phone. They have other phones that also have 4.4 (cm11) but as far as I know they all have the data/3g issues in them, so it's a global thing.

I've not tried the "ok goole" part, but I have seen videos on the nexus and s4 (or s3 I forget) having it, and both the phones work the same, the s4 wasn't as responsive, but did work however. I think it was a qbking77 video if I recall correctly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
Yeah the nexus 4, moto x and htc one are official 4.4 already so it's supposed to work regardless.

Just wanted to say hi and that I flashed this rom last night so will be testing along with everybody . It installed smoothly and runs great so far . Is the concensus that data will eventually work for this ? Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kevin cracolici:
I too am loving this rom, trying to stay on it with only my WiFi is a struggle but sticking with it for now. Hoping data fix is right around the corner
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperGoober:
They got the 3G data working on the sprint gnex . MonstaDriva discovered it was just an APN-Conf.xml issue and CM11 newest build for that phone has solid working so LTE/3G/wifi handoff is fast since the maintainer corrected it in his last build . I have it on my gnex right now and it does work just fine . . Its likey the same problem on the majority of the phones except phones like the ep4gt that use different modems .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lJesterl:
Thanks for the response. I just now re-flashed and tried to boot without GApps at all. Its been at the loading screen now for roughly 30-38 minutes I would say. I verified the MD5 does match on my download. :(

I'm going to revert to completely stock and start over to try again. That's the only thing I know to do. I have never had this much trouble in my life. Not even with the crappy touchsmart webos tablet that hp practically gave everyone and we had to make our own builds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Read the post I answered for you in the other thread , it explains everything . Use later Hood Pope and Mr. Holloway is right , its not your gapps . Go ahead and flash those whenever you flash whatever rom your going to use .

Wifi turns itself off and won't turn back on during my commute to work and back home. This didn't happen on the last release.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GinsuGuy585:
OK so the WiFi is turning off after long periods of no connectivity (no AP in range.)

Is there any way to keep app ops in? **** google for taking it out.

I went back to the DEC 7 build, it solved my radio probs and app ops works. The app ops enabler apps didn't work for me, from what I read an update in 4.4.2 killed it.

To replicate WiFi problem, leave WiFi on but don't associate with an AP, have 3g off via "Testing" menu (not airplane mode.)

It usually takes less than an hour of screen-off, WiFi radio appears off and attempts to enable have no effect.

You can use AppOpsXposed to get it back on 4.4.2, but you have to use Xposed framework

Two questions:

1. Would you guys say that this rom works as a daily driver? Should I look for something more stable? Or is there an issue involving battery/data/superfrequent crashes or something I should know about?

2. Can I dirty flash from WFTN?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gamepro602:
1. There are other roms regarding stability, but as for this one I'm not sure

2. No?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattboy9921:
I've been using this ROM as a daily driver for a while now. Couldn't be more satisfied with its performance. Only issue I've ever found is the MMS one which it has been said should be fixed with the next update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dsmryder:
I have been running this ROM for almost a week now. I'd say it's stable. I haven't rebooted yet. It's hard to comment on the battery as I have been using the phone so much. Just found out that I forgot to set my Wi-Fi sleep policy.

As far as dirty flashing, I wouldn't do it. I would never switch roms without clearing the caches.

Now for the real reason I was on here.

Not sure if it was mentioned in the 100 pages of this thread (what?), but I was going to do an inspection of a new civic and it has Bluetooth radio. Love the feature. This was the first time I've tried to use Bluetooth on this phone. Not sure if it's a ROM issue, comparability issue, or even a fluke. I thought I would mention it.

Also, are you (dastin) taking suggestions? I'm thinking of some of the features that I had from cm10 on my old epic. I don't know if it's part of the CM process, or if they are being dropped.

What I'm talking about are the old style power widgets and capacitive buttons backlighting control. I don't know if the latter was a part of the ET4G feature set ever. This was the second ROM I put on it. Anyway, I'm not afraid to help. As it is I'm going to see where in the codes button control was for cm 10
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DanHakimi:
Well, clearing caches is one thing. My understanding was that dirty was clearing both caches, and clean was that + wipe data. When I switch forward within the same rom, I can dirty flash. But Villuminati is too distinct from WFTN for that, right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] supreme83:
sometimes system is wiped as well depending on rom and what youre coming to/from

Even if this was built from WFTN, you will want to do a clean install. It's better to FOLLOW DIRECTIONS and install the way that is verified than to save a few minutes backing up and flashing....only to later come to the forums with complaints or looking for help on your individuale problem because you didnt want to start fresh. After years of flashing and modding phone..unless youve been at it for years too and are comfortable testing things and fixing on the fly if they dont work, just leave dirty flashing alone....even on the exact same rom if the developer tells you to wipe, WIPE IT.

I used this as my daily driver. Went back to 12/8 build since MMS works and i couldnt create/find solution for latest build.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dsmryder:
I don't see a problem in leaving things in /data. Most of your apps should be there when you load the new ROM. I'm not sure about the ones that use a security feature that Android has that prevents apps being loaded from the SDcard.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttakacs:
Agreed. At least, before flashing this ROM, make a nandroid backup. Then wipe caches, wipe system (although I do believe flashing a ROM wipes the system), flash the ROM and gapps. Boot into the ROM and make sure it's running properly and all of your data is there.

If that didn't work, wipe caches, system, and data; flash this ROM and gapps, boot into it and make sure it's running properly. Then boot into recovery and restore data.

If that didn't work ... well, you know what to do next. :)

BTW, I dirty-flashed Mokee 4.4.2 over Villuminati Jan. 12, 2014 build without any problems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
WFN won't have the recovery you need to install this rom unless Dastin has updated it and i doubt he has . , Many of your apps and stuff might not even be compatible with KK . You can dirty flash but in my opinion you'll just be asking for trouble, with glitches , fc's and little issues . You won't lose any pictures and stuff like that . You can get gcloud and back up stuff like your text messages . I'd recommend a clean install but make sure you get the right recovery on your device before you flash this Rom . Your question about Daily Driver is yes , this is a great solid Rom and will serve you well from day to day .

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dsmryder:
I appreciate the response. What I meant was to change the brightness of the buttons. On the original Epic I could change the brightness in 25‰increments. That was on CM10. This phone doesn't seem to have the ability to turn off the individual burins like the Epic did. I hope to go hunting this weekend. I did figures our the Bluetooth issue. It was me. I did have Apollo set up

Back when my baby was a baby

I could vomit an app in the /system/app directory, reboot, and the app would be installed. Now we have /system/app /system/priv-app and /preload. What would be the right way to install an app in the system. in case you are wondering I'm trying to load better battery stats and it works best installed in /system
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
It's in /system/app. You also have to configure the permissions. However you should use titanium pro or something to install it as a system app.

For all wondering about clean installs…

Dirty… wipe cache and dalvik

Dirty/clean… wipe data, cache and dalvik

Clean… wipe data, cache, dalvik and format system…

I know this is not mentioned here much. But take this into account. If you just wipe data, cache and dalvik… then reboot without flashing anything. Your device will boot to the last rom flashed as if a new rom flash has occurred...just no apps. But if you do the wipes and format system. Then try to reboot..you will get to the splash screen and thats it… because there is no rom.

Without the format system… things can get left behind from the previous rom. I know… I know..we all have did it. But if you are testing a rom or want a good clean base line which to report from. I can not stress enough the format system.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dsmryder:
Yep, that's what I thought. Got it running.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] south956:
ok ...i tried this on the sph-d710bst and i couldnt get the data to work as much as i tried. It booted up fine and wifi worked but as far as going with the data, it didnt go thru so sorry for interupting a different thread than my device....but i really would appreciate the help...so please can anyone help me?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HighxVoltage:
What is your baseband version?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
I'd say dirty doesn't even involve wiping the caches. At least I skip that whenever I want.

Formating the system isn't that "clean" though. I'd say formatting the system is an unnecessary step if your worried about things being "left behind". Since reformating partitions is just a matter of reconfiguring the partitions header or primary bits. Every thing else is left intact. So if per se there's a malicious software that could persist through simple data wipes and resurrect itself, formating the system wouldn't do much.

That's why its so trivial to recover files if you format your partition.

I'm not saying formating is never necessary. Just that you seem to be a bit paranoid. I know from experience that installing a ROM only needs data wiped beforehand and sometimes afterwards too but system is viewed as Read only. I'm getting kinda complicated. Plus I'm tired and can't see straight @-@.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
Then why does a rom stay on if you wipe data, cache and dalvik… .but not if you format system… that said. I believe is enough to say its the cleaner install.

CM wipes system when installing.

I searched and this is the only mention of modem flashing issues. I get a status 6 error when trying to flash any modem with the latest CWM.

Is that a known CWM issue? I was trying to test dastin's latest JB modem test build.

CWM v6.0.4.7

I tried it with GB08. I had wifi but no 3G data or cell service.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HighxVoltage:
I think Status 6 indicates there's an issue with the updater-script from what I gathered up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
That is correct. Also some of the newer cwm versions are having issues flashing mods also, from what I've found anyway.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tenazrael:
Question - What benefit will the JB (GB##) modem have versus the ICS (Fx##) modems?

Also, when I pulled down the notification bar, and hit the Location button to turn on the location button, it stays turned off, and never turns on. Is that because in KitKat, the location feature only turns on when its demanded?

And by location - I believe this is referring to the GPS yes?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thedarksavant:
When I downgraded to 6.0.4.5 I could flash the two modem zips that would not flash on 6.0.4.7 and gave me a status 6 error.

You can get that version by flashing Blasphemy 6.6.

There must have been some changes with the latest CWM I'm assuming.

I can flash most modems with TWRP and that version of CWM successfully.

I ended up trying a PAgapps 4.4 and ended up in bootloop. I figure, i saw 10.2 running so i figured i can leave it at that until i find the right gapps. 10.2 2/7/14 has no data.

I assume your on sprint . Your actually doing more stuff than is required or needed . Instead of loading Jellybean I'd one click ICS FL24 Rooted NoData from Rwilco

Then mobile odin and load El29 DirectBoot kernal also at rwilco . Its the only one I've ever used and worked flawlessly always . Its imperative that while your booted into FL24 you need to go ahead and update your profile and prl and make sure your telephony and data us all working and ready to go before you flash EL29 or anything else . Mobile odin and flash EL29 . Once you load el29 cwm flash HoodPope Nov 22 build and you don't have to boot into the rom , just hold your keys and go right back into recovery . You don't have to do that x2 stuff and by flashing FL24 you already have the modem you need if your on sprint . Then just flash Villumnati and pa gapps mini modular . Before you flash Villmanti do factory data reset , wipe cache and wipe Dalvik , flash Vil and Gapps and there ain't a reason in the world you shouldn't be up and running fine with data . There is no trick with this rom and its not that finicky about gapps . It runs great .

As Kthomson said in the next post you could forego loading Hoodpope and just load the Blasphemy kernal he recommended instead .
