Stock battery, running December 7th release. Google now turned off, location off, bluetooth off, WiFi and data on. Only a few basic apps installed (GAPPS, Facebook, Ebay, XDA Premium etc.). Pegasusq governor, NOOP I/O scheduler, Purge assets enabled and 16 but transparency enabled. Everything else is pretty standard.

They're you go. I've got a little over 2 hours but that's still impressive. I remembered getting 24 hours light use on slim ROM. That was a long time ago though, and my battery was new. And I under volted and under clocked too.

I was having them as well and I installed Gravity Screen and only had two yesterday. I did notice that if you press the power button to turn off the screen and the power off/reboot menu comes up and I press the home or back key to get rid of it, it will reboot 50%. By using Gravity, I dont have to touch anything and it seems to help.

If they get this fixed and GPS, I could use this a my main DD.

Soo...last nite I tried the latest build again. (It was giving severe batt drain probs). Clean flash, full charge, and I went to sleep. Dead phone this morn, 5% when I powered it up. But, I actually found the culprit, I couldn't last time so I reverted back to just 4.4. Now I do know to just freeze or delete it, but check this out. I thought it was interesting.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:

If anyone has working MMS on this rom on the Sprint network (not Boost, not VM, not anything else), I would like to know what your APN and other settings are. I have tried copying over the apns-conf.xml file from a working TW rom and resetting permissions, but that hasn't worked on any CM-based rom I've flashed (WFTN, Hood Pope, 10.1, 10.2, Mokee, this one).

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kaivorth:
After my 1st day with this ROM I can indeed say I'm impressed. Couple of things.

I had 3 random crashes/reboots

One odd issue.. I was at 60% battery when I was at the gym, and I noticed my Facebook messages weren't sending, and data wasn't working. Although it still showed a 3G icon. Rebooted, and I was down to 15% battery life, but data worked. Confused what happened there.

Browser seems to stutter when panning a little bit. Not sure if this is a Browser issue, ROM issue, or just a CPU limitation maybe.

VERY good daily driver though regardless imo. Everything just worked, which is rare on newer ROMs like these. Will post back later on how it's doing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
I don't know if this will help you but take a look . I've heard of sprintpcs.com but not the one on this page . Might help in your quest .

I'm on Ting and mine works and there's no difference in anything between us except for my mmsc.url , I enter plspictures.com where you enter sprintpcs.com . We both connect to sprint through the same ports and stuff . I haven't changed a thing except for editing my mmsc url . what do you show when you dial *#*#3282#*#* then click view - others - mmsc url . ? Absolutely no other difference that I'm aware of . I don't think theres a thing wrong with conf-apns.xml file with this rom because there's no way it would let it work for me and not for you and mine hasn't been edited or manipulated in the slightest way except for entering my mmsc url .

On another note I'm running the 12-04 version , Not a single crash , freeze or problem . Excellent battery life . I did try the last one and I had issues and battery drain like crazy . Went back to 12-04 and waiting for the next build to try again . That was on the 12-08 so great so far .

View/Others/MMSC > http://mmsc.vmobl.com:8088/mms?

Can that be correct?

If it's not, how do I change it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ryuk666:
That is the Virgin Mobile MMSC url. To change it, just tap on it and enter the sprint one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Yeah he's right , that's virgin , try changing it to mmsc.sprintpcs.com

if it gives you an error and wont let you change it like ( modem error ) let me know and I can give you a surefire pretty easy way to change it . Do you have your msl code ? If you don't here is probably the quickest and easiest way for you to change it . When I had you click view that of course was view only . To edit you would have to enter your msl code . An alternative way is here :

Go to the play store and get apex , or nova launcher or use any launcher you like that will let you create a shortcut on the desktop . Once you have it installed click the apex menu button on the bottom left home screen .click add , then click shortcut , activities , scroll down to com.android.sprintmenu , click that , scroll down to MMSC.mmsc and click that . As you scroll down you'll see one that is MMSC view , scroll on by that one . You want the one that says mmsc.mmsc .Now look on your desktop at the new shortcut , open it , type the mmsc url in then save it , reboot and you should be set . in fact I just did it , a real easy way that sounds harder than it is . It does stick after reboot too
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttakacs:
I tried: I selected Edit and entered my MSL but message is "Modem Exception Occurred." :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ryuk666:
Okay then follow the instructions that MonstaDriva posted for you. That should work no problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Yeah , that's normal , its because of the custom rom . Will do that on any cm . just use the shortcut method and it will work .

Any viper4android users here been able to install viper on this ROM?

Edit: when restoring apps and converting them to system apps with titanium backup it errors out saying not enough free space in the system ROM? Maybe this is related?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ryuk666:
Rom is working great! amazingly smooth and no lag! But enabling ART causes repeated force closes. So much that it makes the phone unusable. Other than that an data, the rom is superb!!! thanks Dastin!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omnicubed:
Reflashing gapps fixed that for me.

It seems that the recovery isn't flashing things property.

Did you guys have a nandriod ready?

I attempted that. Then I started getting continuous system ui force closes and rendered the phone unusable. Had to restore the backup I made before messing with ART.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omnicubed:
Well, every time I reboot, it optimizes a few apps again. Maybe, a reboot would've fixed it. Aside from Google Play Services crashing every once in a while, it's running great. Though, the improvement is hardly noticeable; at least for me. If you do give it another try: good luck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ryuk666:
Tried that. Rebooted it multiple times. Still same constant system ui force closes
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Icetech3:
Quick question... i just watched that how to install video above. and he boots straight to recovery from a running os? I have always used odin and installed the directbootCWM rom.. Is that not needed anymore? and man.. would save me some time:) unless i had it wrong from the start:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
The extended reboot menu is pretty common among custom stock roms for this phone as well as being an option in CyanogenMod itself. Under later versions you have to turn it on under developer options which itself also has to be unlocked by tapping the build versions a few times. But all it does is reboot to the recovery on the device.

The EL26/EL29 cwm is still used by people paranoid that the recovery on their current rom is not properly patched against the super brick bug. Basically they see it as a garuntee while others are willing to take the risk that the developers continue to keep this bug at bay with every release. The directboot version of that kernel/recovery was of course made for convenience.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Icetech3:
Ah.. thank you much.. i don't feel too dumb for doing it with the directboot forever:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asd87:
I keep a EL26.tar file on my extSD to flash through mobile Odin when going between TW and AOSP.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
I personally use cwm el29 direct boot on everything I have flashed be it TW, aok, cm, never had an issue.

Any info on data working or not yet?

I am itching to try this rom out, but not without 3g, so as soona s that's working I'll give it a run.

Also are there any other roms out that are 4.4 and have a working 3g?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IamFlynn:
No...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Darkangels6sic6:
This ROM and gapps package"the full gapps" ends up using all 500 so mega bytes of ROM space. You have to use a root explorer and delete some system apps and or choose a small gapps. Especially if you want to attempt the audio mod.

I installed Xplosion and so far the music setting FC's, but I'm pretty sure it definitely gave a kick to volume and clarity. However does not seem fully supported just yet.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Of course it is and it still should be . Did you do the shortcut and fix it ? Your phone won't provision on this rom and pick up the values you normally would get with the touchwiz going through activation . That virgin mobile value is probably just in that rom and everybody gets it and has to change it I think ,

Man I wish I can use this ROM as my DD. Ran it for a few hours but had to go back cause of MMS. One of the smoothest ROMs ever. Well I'm happy to see that Virgin Mobile isn't the only one experiencing the MMS which prob means it may be a ROM issue. I tried changing the APN through the APN settings as well as through the SMS applications...no cigar.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Well unless something has changed lately I don't think you can use wifi for MMS at all . You can on the stock rom with the stock Samsung messaging app but not with CM . You should turn your wifi off and 3G on and verify if you can do mms that way . If you google about the stock Samsung messaging app on a stock rom vs a custom rom with its messenger you'll find the rest of the story . I'll tell you another little story .

I just wiped my phone , factory data reset . Reflashed the rom and gapps . Didn't touch an apn , didn't edit my mmsc.mmsc url , still on virgin mobile url and just sent and received mms with my wife . My phone hasn't been booted up for 15 minutes and nary a setting tampered with . This whole mmsc.mmsc thing I believe is for stock rom's for the Samsung stock messaging app which can do mms over wifi . I think the mmsc.mmsc is purely a web related thing for the various mvno's to give users who are using the stock rom with Samsung stock messenger their own carrier related pathways for mms over wifi .

So viewing the fact I'm a ting user on the sprint network , booting this build for the first time , connecting to 3g , sending and receiving mms successfully without touching anything makes me wonder what could be wrong .I have been running the 12-04 build but this test I flashed the 12-07 build so both builds work fine with a weak signal for me . Did you try sending an mms while you were on TW just to verify in case its an issue with your sprint account or some other unrelated issue to this rom ? Theres no way it can be this rom that I see . I could be wrong but I'm scratching my head how it could be .

Update !! I guess things have changed after all . I am sending and receiving MMS over WiFi now using my MMSC.url . You don't need it for 3G but you do need it for WiFi so its working for me whether over 3G or WiFi
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kaivorth:
How did you disable G+? With Titanium? I might look into that other app you mentioned. I feel like the more power savings apps you add to a custom ROM, the more problems
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Read my last post ( up above ) . I don't see how it could be a rom issue . I'm curious what you went back to ?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] byrdcfmma:
How is GPS on the 12/7 build?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttakacs:
The only difference between my phone and yours seems to be that you are on the Ting network and I am not -- and, of course, your URL settings are different. I can send/receive MMS on my TW rom (g-ding's Touched by S4 rom). But not on the half-dozen or so CM-based roms from Android 4.2 to 4.4 I've flashed on this phone. When you taught me how to access com.android.sprintmenu and I discovered that the mms url is set for VM and not Sprint, I was sure that was the problem. But, clearly, there is more. That's why I want to hear from a Sprint user of this rom whose mms works. So far, that's the only difference I've seen: for VM, Ting, and Boost users, mms works, but not for Sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kaivorth:
Hey dastin, what are you attempting to tweak in the next release, if there is one? This ROM is almost perfect as is. You looking to squeeze out more battery life, performance, stability, or are you already pretty happy where this one is?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
That's really weird because as far as im concerned ting is basically a giant family type service. And boost and Ting both use sprints towers and service, so it shouldn't be too different. But I don't know.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LucentBirch:
I am on sprint and my MMS is working. All of my APN values are set to sprintpcs.com and it works just fine over 3G. Should I be able to use WiFi for MMS? I have heard of others doing it but it has never worked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
It seems that yours should . Mine is working but its a flaky proposition , works decent at times then poor at others . Its not a rock solid flip the switch and it works all the time type of deal . Seems once you play with your settings and get it established it works pretty fair . You might send 4 mms and all 4 go then one doesn't . Or 2 out of 3 might go and one never make it to the other phone . I think once all the rom kinks are worked out it might get better . And it might not even have anything to do with the rom . Could be just a poorly implemented setup needing its own kinks worked out .

---------- Post added at 08:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 AM ----------

I think your right , basically all the same ports and values with the primary difference being the mmsc . Otherwise we all provision the same , hook up the same but then once we are hooked up we all take different forks in the road , me to ting , him to sprint , john doe to boost etc . That's why I'm wondering if those having problems aren't having it after we've all gotten to our respective isp's , in other words possible isp account issues . It just stands to reason that if anybody ought to be having troubles it should be us MVNO's and not sprint users , After all it is their native network . It should be us jumping through the hoops to get things working .

Anyone have any ideas why I'm having so much 3g issues on thus ROM?

If I stay put its fine, but going from home to work, about 45 mins away and 35 miles away.......it shows me having 3g but in actuality I don't because if I check mail or the web it has no data even though 3g shows and says it does. I have to toggle data off and back on. The same issue arises going around town.....of course I go a lot of mile too, probably upwards of 400-500 miles in a day around town. So I have plenty of chances to test GPS and 3g in different areas.

Thought maybe it was the modem but I've tried 3 different modems and have the same results
