As a sanity check, can anyone here shed any light on E4GT compatibility with 5Ghz wifi? Unfortunately, both devices I have use the BCM4330, which may have some issues with 5Ghz, such as the need for certain channels. I've tried all sorts of things but so far have not seen the 5Ghz SSID even show up on the phone (or even the other Broadcom device, a tablet).

The phone setting is on "auto" (either frequency) but I tried setting it to 5Ghz specifically.

Flac flowup

So I tried a couple more players in addition to Apollo, all which experience the same problem I mentioned previously. Since I played flac's fine in my old rom, I assume its the rom(not trying to place blame) but i am interested in if there are any troubleshoot steps I can perform, such as looking at logs etc. After a reboot, everything is great for several hours+. It's when the phones been on a few days that after an hour or so of playing flac's it can hang.

Any help would be appreciated and thanks for a great rom.

D710 has been greenlit for cm-11.0 nightlies pending this commit: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/70493/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
It must be a combination of your specific phone, the epic in general, cm, aosp and a whole lot or entropy. Given the fact that nobody uses flac no one caught the bug. There's a lot of voodoo going on. Involving maybe thousands of people behind the phone you have in the state it's in haha. So not to dismiss you but it seems your best choice is to decide how important flac is to you. And make a decision. Tbh I'd get another phone ;)

What does that mean? Does that mean that we'll have the option of downloading the regular CM ROM straight from CM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dastin1015:
Yes. No more depending on me finding time to compile and release. You'll have a new build to download every night.

Touch-Based Recovery? (Broken Power Button)

I've been a huge fan of Villuminati, since first installing it at the beginning of the year. So first, big thanks to Dastin for the hard work and many thanks to everyone in this community for providing a lot of great help and education.

I'm hoping to keep my E4GT going for a while longer, but have an issue. A recent drop rendered my Power Button broken. I actually did a complete tear down of the phone to try some online fixes I found, but no joy... happy I was able to successfully reassemble the phone though. Since then, I've been able to workaround this problem and actually turn it into a "feature/benefit" by utilizing apps like "Gravity Screen" and "Screebl", which use the phone's sensors to power the screen on and off. It's also handy that this ROM allows you to assign "Power Button" functions to the "Volume Buttons".

The real problem that I can not solve is lack of the Power Button when attempting to make a Nandroid Backup and/or flash updates. Since navigation and confirmation of commands in the current Recovery mode requires a combination of Volume and Power controls, I'm dead in the water. I then recalled having a Recovery on an old Kindle Fire that was Touch-controlled and began wondering if there's any Custom Recovery available that I could somehow install (via PC?) onto my E4GT in order to be able to make Nandroid Backups and Flash Updates.

I know this is probably a long-shot request, but I know that if there's a way to do this, someone in this community will be able to provide me with the help and guidance I need. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for the help!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dastin1015:
The recovery packaged in the ROM already has touch functions enabled. Well swipe to be more correct
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rseiler:
Wow, I never knew that. I can't imagine how swiping works on a menu-based system like CWM, but I'll try it at the next opportunity.

As you've probably found, that doesn't actually work. Well, unless the phone is plugged in.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drk65:
Really? --- I'm running CWM v6.0.4.6... In there now, trying to get it to work, but can't figure out how. I can get "Rainbow Mode" enabled, but all that appears to do is change the colors of each text line. --- Help?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drk65:
Wow... Thanks! --- BUT... Just tried multiple times/ways and will not work on my E4GT CWM. Is there something that needs to be done to enable the "Touch" mode? --- Sorry for the additional questions, but really trying to get this to work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rseiler:
I just got a chance to try it.

The version included in the latest CM we have is 6.0.5.0, and it is in that version. I missed it before, but mention of it is even made on the bottom of the screen. Do you see that in your version? If not, it's too old.

One catch though: swipe up, down, and left work. Right doesn't, ironically enough for you since that's the power button. The only way I could test left swipe, in fact, was to use the power button to advance down the menu structure. I have no idea how only 3 of 4 swipe directions can be enabled.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
Have you tried booting into recovery, pressing Up Down Up on the volume keys, then using the Menu capacitive button to select menu items?

That's how it was on older cwm recoveries, except backwards... You had to press Up Down Up to be able to use the power button.

It's worth a shot [emoji2]

SOLVED - Touch Navigation of CWM in Villuminati

Well, I found it with some experimentation... Sometimes the most obvious solutions are also the most elusive! In this particular version, the method used to navigate and confirm commands using TOUCH controls exclusively is to use the Capacitive Controls at the bottom of the display. Here are the commands mapped to each key...

Menu (1st on Left) = Up

Home (2nd from Left) = Down

Back (3rd from Left) = Back (Previous Menu Level)

Search (4th from Left) = Enter/Confirm

So, I'm back in business. Thanks again to Dastin for the heads-up on this version of CWM having this ability, and thanks to the other "thought partners" who helped direct me toward the solution!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rseiler:
FYI, that's still working in the later version, though maybe it won't once full swipedness is implemented.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mavrikmeercat:
I've been following the thread pretty well I thought but I think I missed something. Has the mobile data Issue been fixed? Probly a stupid question since dastin has stated that this has reached nightly status but I just don't recall seeing it anywhere in the thread.

Anyways, thank you dastin for all your hard work maintaining this device for such a long time, finding the time to do so, and sticking with it. I for one truly appreciate it. Thank you also to everyone who helped and tested getting it this far.

Thanks. Is the data drop fix in the latest build in the op or will we have to wait until cm merges dastin's commits and nightlies are posted on the cm server?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dastin1015:
Data will work regardless. Virgin Mobile MMS though requires merging which I doubt will happen to be honest.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mavrikmeercat:
Ok thanks man.

Just be clear, I know data works in this cm build. I was referring to the issue where moble data/3g would drop randomly or would not switch back to 3g after a phone call ended and had to be toggled manually to get it back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dastin1015:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JavFlo:
Um, first of all thanks to everyone keeping this thread alive, and Dastin for making an awesome ROM. Thank you all.

1.

The only big issue I have with it right now is idle battery life. It seems worse than on stock. If I were to leave the phone fully charged overnight, by morning I'd be at ~60%. I've tried turning wifi off, and uh, um, closing apps. I also set my i/o to ROW and I left the processor on ONDEMAND. I mean, screen on time is allright. On YouTube I would get ~3 minutes of video on YouTube per 1% charge. I can live with that. I've messed with countless setting to boost battery life, but it seems about the same. So, now I downloaded a battery saver app by Gejos to see if that fixes it. How is your guy's battery life?

View attachment 2901729

View attachment 2901730

Another thing. I'm running ART, maybe that should help. Or maybe battery has just gone bad, despite having this phone only for about over a year.

2.

Uh, um, yeah, low volume, very low volume= sound cutouts. It's almost impossible to notice while listening to music. However, I notice it like A LOT on ASMR videos (look it up if you don't know what it is). A workaround for me, has been to run an app called PA Tone, and I max the tone 1900+ Hz so it's inaudible at standard volume. Unfortunately, i'll getting some low momentary sound pops, but its not as bad as listening with sound cutouts on quiet videos. Hm. I recall this being an issue on stock, but then, I t went away by itself I think.

3.

Does anyone else have YouTube forcing videos to run at low quality? I can't remember if this happened on stock, but is seems that youtube now displays videos with the gpu, since they seem jagged, like when I would play a 3d game on the phone or pc. It's like the video need antialiasing. I tried enabling "force AA" under developer options, but it did nothing. I've been able to confirm that it is the gpu, as the Viral YouTube app gives the option to play videos with the gpu: with that option checked I get jaggies. So um, is it possible to force gpu AA on everything?

4.

Little things. Apps crash every once in a while. I can live with it, but the one that stands out to me, is that I'm running the Google Home screen. On some occasions, I get the error that "google soundsearch has stopped" or something along those lines. May be a result of ART. but I can live with it.

5. When I write or type quickly, my writing sound like my speech.

So, yeah, you are guys are cool, and thanks. Then again, Dastin needs more thanks.

Double-Tap To Sleep & Go To Sleep Commands

I've been running earlier versions of this ROM since early 2014 and love it. The latest "Nightly" (08-20) seems to be working fine on my E4GT. I do have two questions, both relating to making my device work a little better in absence of a working physical "Power Button".

1. Can anyone report success or failure of utilizing the Status Bar "Double-Tap To Sleep" function? I've been trying to use it after each update of this ROM and can never seem to get it working. The Status Bar "Brightness Control" sliding gesture works fine, but not the "Double-Tap To Sleep" gesture. I was concerned that my use of Nova Launcher might be the cause, so I tested the function using both the Trebuchet and Google Now Launchers, but experienced the same problem. I'd appreciate any feedback or guidance on this issue.

2. One of the nice CM11 features is the "Go To Sleep" tile that can be found in the "Notification Drawer" Tiles, as well as being added to the Notication Screen Ribbon. What I'm looking for is the name and/or location of the file/command that initiates this "Go To Sleep" function. I'm looking for this as I'd like to assign Home Screen Shortcut and/or Nova Launcher Gesture to activate the "Go To Sleep" command, without having to pull down the Notification Screen. Nova Launcher allows you to assign "Activities" to virtually any command that can be found in your system file structure. However, I can not find the "Go To Sleep" command. If someone can point me to where that file/command is located and/or advise me of the file's name with the system, I'd really appreciate it.

As a side note... I know (and have) many apps and widgets that can switch off the display with a screen touch. However, all of them that I've tried not only turn off the screen, but also immediately lock it, as well (which I do not want to do in this case). The CM11 "Go To Sleep" command is the only one I've found that will turn of the display, but NOT lock my system.

Thanks in advance for any help and guidance you can provide!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JavFlo:
I guess its time to move on to the cm11 thread.

Apparently I solve battery issue by staying on davlink. Unfortunately, screen on life is worse than before. I'll try today's nightly and see how things go.

Last thing. Some guy was having a problem with FLAC not playing, but this was a while ago. I had the same problem, but it was fixed by restoring all the Google Play services under privacy guard to allow it to keep the phone awake. I had messed around with that. Hope that is some help.

Hi guys!

This has been a problem ever since the CM11 Nightly first came out. I don't always receive texts right after the receipcent sends them. For example, my friend would text me and I sometimes haven't received his text until hours later. This doesn't always happen but it happens enough for me to switch back to GB27.

Is this happening to anyone else? Is it just my faulty device? I am on FL24 Modem. I made sure to clean flash as well.

Hey jhonka232. i've been getting this error on my galaxy s4 ever since i flashed it to virgin mobile. I can send mms picture texts but i can't receive. sending and receiving sms messages are no problem.

my question is can i apply your settings to the cm11 flashable zip for the S4 CM11 nightly's folders to achieve the same result? or is your fix specific to the Epic 4g?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ©ertifiedMuffDiver™:
I am new to this whole flashing roms thing like most people. I have been trying to do my research and I dont have all the time to sit here and read every thread and post to make sure my question hasnt already been answered which we all know it probably has but not everyone has the time to do it. So please dont flame me. It seems as I have not found a universal thread that has all instructions or like a wiki that has all the different versions of how to work from which ever spot your currently at to flash upgrade or downgrade properly so you dont fully brick your phone.

I have been sitting on my Sprint S2 for a long time because my battery died and i went to collections and lost my service.. I just recently decided to resurrect it and bought a new battery. now that I dont have service for it and dont have insurance on it and never rooted it, I wanted to finally Root it and enjoy the fun everyone else is having. I know its not wise to start flashing ROMs and Rooting with no insurance as if I brick it im screwed. but whats the purpose of having it and not using it. I can still use it with Wifi and it has an actual better camera and screen and processor than my free replacement Verizon prepaid phone my friend hooked me up with I got now.

First off I never upgraded to Jelly Bean. the software I last installed is the upgrade to ICS FL24. Vers: 4.0.4 unrooted, Kernel: 3.0.15-1173404se.infra@SEP-129 #3 SMP PREEMPT Mon Dec 24 22:21:56 KST 2012

what modem would I then have installed? if I have ICS FL24 modem installed then would I not have to flash any modem at all? and I could skip that step?

What would be the right steps for me to upgrade from my unrooted version? the only possible instructions I found was this:

Now if im getting this right I should:

* oden el29 kernel

* Boot to the cwm recovery

* Flash fl24 modem

* Flash hood pope

* Boot to new recovery that came from hood pope

*Flash cm11

*flash gapps

*reset phone and your ready

I read somewhere that I got the Superbrick bug, would I need to still worry about that now?

I was also reading a crucial step of needing to first Flash to Hood Pope 4.3 to transition to Villuminati easiest, but I cannot find the right Hood Pope zip as they are too old and no one is sharing the one suggested? i cant even find the 10.2 nightly builds anywhere to use.

Thank you all wise Masters, this young padawan is eager to learn.......

SMUG MODE!!! Thank you fellow V-Town Brethren Big MIKE!!!! I got it working now 100%!! This wasnt as hard I thought it would be. Although I did run into Issues at first with GAPPS, at first I forgot to add the file to my internal memory before i started. DOH. Thought I was screwed after Phils Kernel because I couldnt boot to anything before I installed the Villuminati ROM. But I guess it didnt matter if GAPPS was installed and I was able to boot and then add the GAPPS file through USB and start over. I had tried installing the Full GAPPS 304MB package and ran into the problem of it not being able to install on my E4GT as it was too big to install. I didnt know I had a restriction on the size GAPPS I can install, so I ended up downloading the next package down in size, and going back into recovery and just doing the whole motion of wiping all data and then reinstalling the ROM and then the GAPP package until finally I could only install the NANO package which was quite odd that I had to go that small. I even installed SuperSU 2.14 at the end and whallah! I know now I didnt need to keep reinstalling the ROM as GAPPS is separate but I wanted to make sure I did it right. CHEERS!!!
