@dastin1015, does s JB modem mean 4g??

---------- Post added at 10:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 PM ----------

OK...hmmm.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dastin1015:
No JB modem means JB modem lol It fixes no signal with kernel graphics update, but apparently no data
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
Oooo...k...just wondering. Anyway, tried GB08, no data. Tried to flash a ICS modem, no matter what I did(wiping, reflashing, wiping, etc), got status 6 error. Had to restore a backup. Anyway, hope that was helpful.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kenshinhimora:
Is this to help with the idle battery drain due to the wlan wake locks?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gbennett:
I am wondering the same......i'm a noob, so it wasn't clear to me from the changelog.

dastin: can you clarify? thanks for all the hard work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
Fixes loss of signal and a graphics update. Hope this answers both of your questions,

---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 PM ----------

But don't flash it, you won't have data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattboy9921:
Does anyone else get stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S II screen for a really long time before the phone actually boots up?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TJj33p3rz:
Yes it takes time for it to boot up.All 4.4 for me anyways takes a few mins.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] byrdcfmma:
Yes, the longest took me about 9 min. I always time it and if it runs over 10 min, I reflash or try wiping
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattboy9921:
It takes me upwards of 30 to 45 minutes every time...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] byrdcfmma:
wow, I have never let one run that long.

This is what I look for. Watch the circle run on the splash screen. If I see if it pause or slows down every once in a while, it's working and going to load. If it does this, my rom has always booted. If all it does is run at the same speed with no pauses, it wont boot and seems to be bootlooping. I have 3 E4GT's and all of them have done this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattboy9921:
Oh I don't get to the Cyanogenmod circle part of it until after 30 minutes of the Samsung screen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
I'm not having that problem. Samsung splash screen only lasts about 3 seconds for me. But it actually boots? The only time mine has stuck like what you are saying is when I did something wrong or bad download, and only on first boot. And then I have to reflash or restore.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] THIRSTY GNOMES:
Tried this twice now, and same result. I am using FL27 as my modem, and everything is working fine using the 4.4.2 version of this rom. But as soon as I encrypt my device I lose phone signals. I can still use wifi. Any ideas? I am clean flashing each time fyi
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattboy9921:
Yes my ROM always boots, it just takes forever. Last boot took about 45 minutes. Started at around 5:30, got to the lockscreen at around 6:15. It also seems to run out of space right after I reboot for the first time...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
Are you talking about first boot after flashing? Or just rebooting? Maybe you need to backup what you need/want and completely format your phone...what you've been asking about is not normal. Boot should take 2-3 minutes...MAX
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattboy9921:
The first boot after flashing is normal, 2-3 minutes. After it boots and I set it up, I install my apps and stuff, but when I reboot after that, it sits at the Samsung Galaxy screen for 30+ minutes, then the Cyanogenmod logo comes up and it boots fine, but usually says I'm out of storage space.

Texting also seems to not work properly, not sure if that's just me with this other weird issue, but it just started happening recently.

I've also completely formatted my phone a dozen+ times (not including micro SD) and started from scratch, still with the same issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
This really needs to go to general q&a, but it sounds like you need a fresh start with your device. I've never heard of that, except on first boot after a flash.

---------- Post added at 10:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 PM ----------

Maybe even wipe after flashing...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
You know what this sounds like? It sounds like your phone zip aligning your apps, fixing permissions, wiping cache, making zram and or a bunch of other tweaks every boot. Are you running tweaks? I'm just taking a guess here, I might be wrong.

sent from tumblr
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattboy9921:
I don't think I have any tweaks. Just the ROM and Gapps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
I'd hate to tell you this, but as far as I'm concerned no one encrypts their phone around here. Not saying it won't work for you just you might be alone ? do go ahead and test and good luck. Try making some logs, but if encryption is important I'd recommend using a stable build. (Though this is solid as it is) sorry I'm no help?

sent from tumblr
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] THIRSTY GNOMES:
I know a lot of you guys don't encrypt for the sake of being able to keep flashing other roms. Some guys at work recommended it so I decided to try it. I am at a loss as too why encrypting the phone would effect data though? Not a big deal if its gonna be a pain in the arse to fix. If I go to mobile networks in options it force closes once I encrypt the phone, really strange.

Secondly anyone know how to upgrade the PRL with this Rom? I feel like a n00b having to ask such a simple thing...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
You and me both. But there's so many changes and they are done by so many people, that somewhere along the line it broke. Maybe.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattboy9921:
Managed to fix the 30 minute reboots. I switched from TWRP to Clockworkmod and the issue isn't happening anymore.

Still having texting and MMS issues, but that's it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttakacs:
Try 8SMS as your default messaging app. That fixed my texting and MMS issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattboy9921:
Did you have the thing where texts don't come in at all, and then they all come in at once?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jc.m:
I am using Texta SMS and mms working good and I have some times my SMS to come all at once but i think it is sprint that the network is so bad in some areas
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttakacs:
I was getting SMS but could not send or receive MMS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
To update prl you have to flash a touchwiz ROM, update prl, then go back to cm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] htb723:
Has anyone been able to use old Titanium Backup app backups? It detects the app elements, but won't list them when I try to restore them. The backup location is correct, it even lists all of my apps, but they aren't there when I try to restore :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattboy9921:
Interesting. I can't really receive texts, but sometimes I can send them. MMS doesn't work at all. The only release MMS worked for me was 12-04
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kvevand63:
Look for an app on Play store called Zip.me. Works better than Ti when it comes to this. Works great every time!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hondais1:
Help!

I keep getting Status 7 error!! WTF. Epic 4g Touch Gb28 running ics modem FB15
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HighxVoltage:
You need Clockworkmod 6.0.4.5 or higher to successfully flash. You can get the version of CWM by flashing a 4.3 ROM or a kernel with the correct version of CWM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kenshinhimora:
Is there a way to keep the Samsung camera app? I find that the one with cm11 does not take as good pictures or video compared to what the stock ones did.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
You would have to pull the app from a touchwiz ROM and install it. But it may not be compatible, I don't know. All you can do is try!;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] htb723:
Does this help me restore the apps I backed up with TB? I can't seem to be able to.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gbennett:
Anyone know how to fix the wifi wakelock? its draining my battery so fast. thanks in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
Not sure what you're talking about. Do you have 'notify about networks, scanning always available, and WiFi on during sleep' unticked in WiFi settings?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kenshinhimora:
Why would you sleep wifi when screen is off?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hondais1:
mms???

Has anyone got pic messages to work on Virgin Mobile??? Stock APN setting won't send/receive pic messages. Using Textra SMS won't receive pics but will allow sending pics.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattboy9921:
I'm on Sprint with the 12-04 build and MMS works great for me, but not on any of the newer builds unfortunately.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TJj33p3rz:
Nope I couldn't get it to work on either. I tried textra and 8sms
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
Not sure why someone would, just making sure that person had it switched off, as it is switched on by default.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattboy9921:
Does anyone have MMS working on Sprint with the latest build?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttakacs:
On Sprint, I can send and receive MMS with the Jan. 12 build, using 8sms.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattboy9921:
Does 8sms allow group messaging via MMS?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttakacs:
http://8s.ms/group-messaging
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Unjustified Dev:
Mms fix is on cm gerrit and needs to be included in test build. Should fix stock mms issues as it works on other devices
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IamFlynn:
Just flashed latest build. Seems to be little to no noticable difference. Data still works (FL24 Modem), still have graphical bugs.

Other than that, I still love it!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] byrdcfmma:
I think what UD is saying is that the fix is in the tree, but the latest build doent have it yet. Just use 8sms until we get another update. 8sms is not perfect, but good enough.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IamFlynn:
Thanks for clearing things up [MENTION=4867772]byrdcfmma[/MENTION]
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Josey Wales:
Is this ROM ready to be a daily driver or should I stay with cm10.1 a little while longer?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttakacs:
It's daily driver for me -- it's stable, fast, and everything I want works, and works well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattboy9921:
Definitely. Love the battery life, 2 days+ if I don't overuse it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zimlokks:
This is still going? I'm glad! I moved on to a N5 since my screen broke completely, anyways love Dastin's work I hope he keeps it up, thanks dude for bringing this to the community!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Josey Wales:
Which kernel modem?

My major concerns are:

1. Battery life

2. Messaging

3. Camera(I read it's different)

4. Stability

I was very impressed with cm10.1 and have been reading good things regarding this ROM. This will be my second ROM flashed. I'm currently using Team Blacked Out apps and hope this doesn't effect my apps. . .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattboy9921:
My modem is FB15.

I have an extended battery in my phone so that's why my battery life is over 2 days, but just as an example, JB ROMs with the same battery would below 15% after general usage all day.

With messaging, MMS doesn't seem to work in the stock app or Hangouts for me in any build but the 12-04, but someone had said the MMS issue had been fixed with CM but hasn't been implemented into the latest release of this ROM.

The camera seems to have an issue with recording in 1080p, it just freezes for me, but lowering the resolution seemed to work fine. Pictures work fine as well.

As for stability, I have never once had this ROM crash on me or give me a boot loop or anything. I had issues with TWRP, but CWM works well.

Hopefully I didn't leave anything out? Also, I believe different people's devices seem to have different results with issues and such...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Josey Wales:
I'm currently running EL26

I don't think I ever used the stock app but if I'm not mistaken guys were encountering issues with other messaging apps. . .

I use my camera more than video but don't want the issues if and when I decide to use it.

Cm10.1 has crashed a couple times. I've had CWM since day one.

What about this 30+ minutes of boot time I've read about. How can it be avoided?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TJj33p3rz:
I loved this ROM, me on virgin mobile every so often I'd lose signal it would show that I still had signal it just wouldn't work.Of course a simple turn data on off would fix.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IamFlynn:
That hasn't been an issue for me. Longest boot time is the first reboot of your initial install, mine lasted around 1 minute. Not too much to worry here
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattboy9921:
Not sure about messaging apps since I use Hangouts.

I'm also not sure if my phone is the only one with the camera issue as I've seen that on almost every ROM I've used.

The 30+ minute reboot issue was happening to me while I was using TWRP recovery. As soon as I switched to CWM, the issue disappeared. Just avoid TWRP and you should be fine (No offense to TWRP).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dastin1015:
Sticking with CWM is you best bet because with how the recovery partition is included in with the boot partition for this device every build I release automatically means it includes the latest up to date CWM code at the time of release.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattboy9921:
Is there 4G in this ROM? I can't find it in settings.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mands386:
There's no 4g on 4.3 and on for this phone I believe

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattboy9921:
Oh wow must have read that a dozen times before but never seen it. Sorry for that.

Anyone know the reason 4G isn't available for 4.3?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
Oh man...its all through the threads. AOSP stopped supporting wimax after 4.2. I've been hopeful that it might work again someday...but I think that's more like hopeless.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattboy9921:
Conveniently Sprint just notified me that 4G coverage is coming to my area this month...

I wonder if someone could somehow add the 4G support back in. I don't know much about how adding things like that works so I could be totally wrong...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
Wimax is dead, your phone uses Wimax. It's impossible to add support for something that doesn't exist anymore. If you want 4g you have to get a spark enabled device on sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Shoo fummod get back to the Nexus section :p

Sent my device off to a friend still packing Villuminati BTW.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
Lol I love my epic 4G touch too much to forget about it. Good choice of upgrade sir ;).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattboy9921:
RIP Wimax.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] third son:
Thinking about a nexus 5 in my future.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
Yes wimax is dead, but only if you have to be using the most current ROMs. Everything before 4.3 is compatible with wimax. If I even had wimax where I live...I would have downgraded, and stayed there as soon as I found out it was axed at 4.3. Just saying...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
If you had wimax where you lived you might have actually compiled your own build just to remove support. For some people it really is THAT bad.

In the last days before I cut my phone off I was running speed tests and it had gotten so bad that Sprint's 3G was actually faster. When I first got my phone I was pulling 15 Mbps down 1.5 Mbps up. When ICS first came to the phone we were seeing some problems and Samsung pushed out a fix for that and it made it into our CM builds and I think I was still getting 8 Mbps down which was great.

I live in a major metro area, when Sprint rolls something out this is usually in the first 10 to get it. At some point stock or not I was getting 4 Mbps down and completely unreliable service. I could connect to WiMax get a decent speed at whatever I was doing and then lose all data while still being connected. It got to the point of just staying on 3G to ensure a reliable connection. Who knows maybe something was wrong but everything else on the phone was great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattboy9921:
3G has always worked fine for me...I used 4G once in NYC for about 5 minutes before I turned it off to save battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
Yea, we have wimax in the downtown area where I live, also in ATL(which I travel to frequently), but am not in either enough. I swore I wouldnt use 4.3 b/c of lack of support. But I also realized what you did, that even when it was available, it wasn't worth it. Soo...luckily:D [MENTION=3257303]dastin1015[/MENTION] amazingly released KitKat for this device, which made me sway my judgment. And I haven't looked back! Btw, what device are you using now? I remember seeing your posts quite some time ago, but was before xda allowed my account to post in development threads.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Taz420nj:
They're notifying you that they are turning on LTE in your area, which this phone does not support at all and will never support. They are not doing any further building out of the WiMAX network, in fact they are going to start dismantling it this year. So your wish is moot.

I'm wondering why this ROM has progressed this far and we still can't use dock audio or MHL..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattboy9921:
Oh wow right, that makes sense. Well I guess my new phone will take advantage of it...if I ever decide on one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dastin1015:
Dock audio due to the open source drivers being used that do not have support for dock audio and me lacking the programming knowhow for that.

MHL mainly cause I'm a full time student and don't exactly have a lot of time. Keeping the main features working and releasing updates are all I have time for right now for the most part.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Taz420nj:
Thanks for the answer, dastin.. I just realized the tone of the question, and I absolutely did not mean for it to sound snarky. I knew there had to be a reason beyond your control. I have been using your ROMs for a long time and they are always awesome and your hard work is much appreciated.

Thanks for all you do. :)

battery going crazy

Any one have any ideas on what might be causing these crazy jumps in my battery upon doing a restart? The huge dip was a restart before going to class. The huge jump was a power on at 12% battery. When the phone was on suddenly it said 43%. I'm pretty sure the phone is outputting the correct information when it is off and charging.

Also you'll notice my drain is horrible. I have also lost the ability to connect to sprint since the first drop.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattboy9921:
I used to have that sort of thing happen, replaced the battery and it never happened again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thedarksavant:
Is it because of the c code for the kernel drivers? I know c, but have not done kernel development. I could take a shot, but I'd need a lot of help compiling.

Base version FL24 - Running CM 10.2 and just came over to this ROM with no real issues; just had to flash a slim GAPPS zip instead of the mini or micro offered in the link. No problems though; once installed I just got back a few google apps I do use.

Thank you everyone who contributed to this! Now my N4 and S2 are running 4.4.2 :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattboy9921:
I've noticed two things that have been happening to me recently.

First, my ability to send texts and MMS just stops sometimes and the only way to fix that is to reboot. Not sure if that's just me.

Second, my phone miraculously turns off. It's happened just today and I'm not sure if it's just the battery being loose or something, but it's never happened before, even when dropping the phone so I'm not sure.

Any help?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
Change your governor to ondemand or interactive and bsod will stop.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Impius:
Regarding the text/mms issue: I've noticed that this happens when leaving Wi-Fi and going back to cellular service there is a chance that the phone will show full 3g but is actually not connected. This also happens if I lose service and regain it later.

Toggling Airplane mode on and back off usually gets it back on track. I saw somewhere in the thread (I think) someone mentioned this handoff from Wi-Fi to cell and back being an issue.

Btw, I'm on the previous build, not the newest one.

Stuck at CM Boot animation

Hey guys I have searched and I have read this thread up and down lol. I rooted my epic d710 fl24 and used mobile odin to flash e4gt-el29-directboot and since the version of CWM was 2 old (5.x) i wiped everything and flashed hood pope to get a newer CWM, i wiped everything and flashed VILLUMINATI-01122014-d710.zip and then every since Gapps i tried kept saying not enough space all the way from full, modular, micro, etc until i settled on Banks core GApps, recommended after the micro failed, 2-3_GApps_Core_4.4.2 and now I can't get past the cyanogenmod loading screen. It just has the blue cyanogen guy with the blue arrow spinning around him and it just stays there. I have re-flashed 3 times and stll just stays there. Has anyone else had this happen and how did u fix it? Any suggestions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
How long did you let sit there,sometimes it takes awhile to boot.it will boot with out any gapps installed.I don't believe its the gapps causing it.also did you check the md5#,make sure it matches your download.

I've heard of someone having that problem before,you will have to search for it.

This Rom is amazing especially since KitKat is optimized for lower end devices like these. I'm so happy my SGS2 continues to receive development. Thank you so much Dastin!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
That's the one I tried before I found out it was giving me issues. It gave me as I stated above a black/blank homescreen.

When I used the full gaps from the link I provided, I had no issues

I'm not sure what you mean by "google launcher", that you refering to, if you mean the launcher where it has google to the one side and where you can say "ok google" that's a whole different launcher, and I don't think it's provided in gapps.....correct me if I'm wrong.

You can get the launcher separately if that's a concern, they have videos on how to get it and install it....qbking77 has one as well if I recall
