You'd probably be better off starting with ICS rooted one click FL24 , then flash el29 directboot kernal with cwm , then flash hood pope to get the latest cwm so you can flash this . You need the ICS radio anyway Or are you saying you already have this installed but missing root ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mlock420:
So I just noticed you can't freeze Google now or it won't open the launcher....and I noticed search key won't launch the search app...but I still like this rom
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
Well today was a good day indeed.

I decided to give this rom one last ditch effort, and I'm glad I did.

This time though I did it a little different.....I was on hood pope and decided to leave gps on, (actually it was an accident I left it on LOL) but anyways it got left on.

I booted into recovery, did a factory reset, cleared cache and all, then flashed the rom and gapps, and rebooted. That was last night, and I tried it last night a couple of times and it did fine so I let it sit until this morning.

There is a weird glitch, at least for me, and I've seen it for some others too, even on the stock roms past GB on most ics version, where gps doesn't wanna work right, or at least it takes longer than it should, so I got in a habit of clicking gps 3 times on/off IE: on (1001) off (1002) on (1003) off (1004) on (1005) off (1006) NOTE: the 1001-1007 are the count time so it's not a really fast on/off/on/off thing, it's a slower timed on/of..........then on one last time, then I check the maps to see how long it takes to lock on. This has always seemed to done the trick for some weird reason, dunno why it works but it does, because from what I've tested if I jsut let it sit, it WILL lock on, but it'll take longer......but with the 3 toggles and then on, it seems to trigger something. Odd I know but it works.

First thing I did was boot recovery and clear dalvik cache out so as it wouldn't have a memory of running at all. Rebooted into the system, the apps build, and then I test gps, and bingo it locked on within a matter of a few second, I think no longer than 10 seconds was the max.

I think I traveled locally around 500 miles today in all, I was ALL over the map today in the city, from one end to the other so today was an very ideal test for gps. So I would go one end of town, test, it locked ok, then the next run I would go to the other end of town and test, it worked fine...did this for about a dozen runs or so. On each one I successfully locked on fine on every single one.

I'm not sure if leaving the gps on when flashing to this rom did the trick, or if it's the 3 toggle trick, or a combination of both.......possibly a botched install/flash could have been the culprit too, dunno. Back in the CM9 days I tried the the leaving the gps on and getting a lock then flashing, and it never worked. Maybe it did this time, not sure.

So all said and done I am back on 4.4 and everything works good. I am indeed a happy camper.

I am currently running Nova, as it has more options that I like, but I have one thing left i want to do...I am not a big fan of the contacts, does anyone have any replacement ideas for the CM peoples contacts, that has a like 1 click call option?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kevin cracolici:
So I'm enjoying this Rom, but one issue I'm having that is really annoying, and haven't seen anyone else mention it is the phantom key presses. I will randomly have keys being pressed, menus popping up going haywire, or the phone buttons generally being unresponsive or not working, mostly the keys at the bottom, the only way to get to work again when this happens is to turn off the screen, turn back on, unlock the phone and then they will work... any body else experience anything like this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jr9306:
Phantom presses happen all the time regardless of ROM for a lot of ppl with this phone. Its the menu button for me. So what I did was edit the touchkey file in system and turn off the menu key and replace the search button as my menu key...never had an issue since.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Unjustified Dev:
nvm
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttakacs:
I booted into this ROM and even installed some apps from the Play Store but after rebooting the phone froze at the Samsung Galaxy Sii screen. Had to pull the battery and wound up restoring my TW ROM from nandroid backup. What could have gone wrong?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
I haven't had a freeze or random reboot in days . This is the smoothest , finest most enjoyable rom I've ever experienced for this phone . I have 2 galaxy nexus , one with cm11 and the other with slimkat and man , they are far flakier .I've been a flashing maniac lately and Dastin is way out in front running this ROM on an older device . So that being said maybe you could try booting to recovery , format system , then factory data reset , wipe cache , then wipe dalvik . Next flash the rom , then the mini gapps , not the full . Now , boot your phone and just give it some peace , don't even enter your gmail addy , skip everything and give it some time to settle in . Let it lay on the table for an hour or two so it can relax . After a bit install an app or two . Don't start mass downloading all your apps at once . Its like a brand new car , needs a little break in period . I know this all sounds weird but try it . Don't do ART for a day or two . Run dalvik and just confirm what apps work and don't work before you try that . There are little bugs that aren't so much this rom ,but across the google platform . I'm fairly new at this but in my readings all the old school pro's here seem to say , " let the rom settle in " and I have to say I'm a believer now . This exact method works for me on 2 ep4gt's . Give it another shot .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
I second this whole thing.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kvevand63:
Great job on the ROM! Running it with latest CrossBreeder. No freezes or random reboots encountered (flashed with full Gapps pkg). By far the smoothest ROM I have had on my device. Question regarding ART; is there any way to check/verify if ART is running after selecting ART in settings and device auto reboots? Been two days since flashing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
To access art go to about phone > build number at the very bottom just above "SELinux" status, tap it until you get developer mode. Once it say you are now a developer or something like that, back out one screen and go to developer options, then go down to "Select runtime" and change it from dalvik to art

Honestly use ART at your own risk. I was reading some places were art is a new thing so quite a bit of apps may force close and things may flake out on you, just be forewarned this may cause issues. This is from the people who are well known too. Think I saw one around xda somewhere about that, might wanna goolge up on it first before ya change it.

I personally am gonna hold off until a few updates come out or a few versions ie: 4.5, 4.4.1, etc....then people can build around art.

Art is the better way to go, but as I said it's new so people will have to learn to write for it and adjust their apps accordingly and that will take time

Hey dastin, I think someone left you a lil sum'n sum'n :).....Enjoy and thanks for your hard work
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dirtyhewr:
Ive gotta say... Never a big fan of CM.. But this rom runs so smooth... Even with no overclocking... The roms you put out are just amazing... Thanx again, dastin!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
Yep, it's unbelievably smooth and fast....only annoying thing is the location acess nag screen that always pops up when you activate gps again, but that's not dastins fault, I think it's pre-built into 4.4, bleh!. HATE nag screens.

Other than that it's really nice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dirtyhewr:
Got rid of the nag screen with an xposed mod... Annoyed me too haha...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
which one?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dirtyhewr:
Called "Disable Google Network Location Consent"... It's in the download section of the xposed installer...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rejectedsup:
This rom is awesome.. So smooth and snappy. Only issues iv been noticing is when one hits search button it launches and closes search. But biggest issue is iv been unable to remove any apps using titanium backup or flash apks/install downloaed apks. If any one else has had this problem let me know iv reflashed 3 times and no luck. Questioning if its a bug I'll have to wait on or something on my end.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Darkangels6sic6:
My only vice so far is how stock it is. Not exactly a bad thing. Works great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
Use root explorer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dirtyhewr:
I actually did have this happen... I thought i was crazy... TB would say it uninstalled, but was still there in system/app... It would, however, let me FREEZE apps... Used root explorer to try and manually delete and no go... I thought it might be a super user thing, so i tried installing supersu... But after a reboot, the system didn't recognize the supersu ... So i uninstalled it and rebooted and BOOM all of a sudden i could delete apps... Don't know why... I kind of assumed it was a permission thing somewhere that got "fixed" when i installed supersu...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
Only issue I have is I like using stock browser to come to this forum,and the browser glitches out and closes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Darkangels6sic6:
Yay hold back to kill again!! And finally battery. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
well I've installed exposed before but this time I needed the newer version to work right, so I grabbed it and installed, went to xposed main app and did the install stuff.....rebooted......went back into xposed and to modules, and grabbed the "disable location consent"

It wasn't loaded to I check-marked it, and rebooted once again, once I booted back up, I toggled gps and still get the location nag screen to agree and disagree.

Did I miss something or did I grab the wrong file or perhaps the wrong version of the module?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rejectedsup:
Weird but worked..thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttakacs:
Thanks for the encouragement; I made another go at it and Villuminati is working for me!

Just as an FYI, after flashing FL24-ICS modem, I flashed the Blashphemy kernel v6.6. I flashed the Gapps from here, which is a 15mb file. I also replaced the stock Launcher3 with the Kit Kat Launcher downloaded from this thread. The KK Launcher has a separate Settings menu, a persistent search bar with voice search (say "Ok Google" to search), and downloadable language packs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TULOA:
I just flashed the 12-04 rom and I keep getting stuck at

"Starting Apps"

Any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kvevand63:
Reboot back to recovery (hold power and volume down buttons together), wipe cache and dalvik, reboot. If that does not work, reboot back to recovery and re-flash ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dirtyhewr:
Hmm... Strange... I know after i installed it, it popped one more time on me, but that was it... Sorry it didn't work for you... Seems you have done everything i did... Installed xposed, installed consent Disabler, check marked disabler, rebooted...

Default Camera Storage

Ok so many of us have external sd cards with this device that in the past we could set our default camera storage paths to our external sdcards . That's been taken away as I understand it because its a nexus camera and nexus devices don't have extsd cards so there was no need to provide other storage path options . Just wondering if and how this can be addressed . Could it be added as an edit in the rom somewhere possibly ? I did find this option on XDA but have held off on trying it until the edit question or any other ideas here might pop up .Being able to store video and pictures onto a 32 gig extsdcard is a big plus IMO so hopefully we can come up with some ideas .Maybe this method could be baked in possibly ?

Well of 3 xposed mods I can only see one and as far as I can tell it's the only one of the 3 that work.....so do some of the add-on mods not work?

I have tried disable google location notifier, XhaloFloating Window, and just for kicks I tried recent tasks ram, the last one is the one that works, the ram in recents bar.

Perhaps I'm not sure how the halo floating thing works, but from videos I should see a like blue circle at the side I can access apps from.

Hangs after restoring SMS

So I installed this clean and everything was fine. The only issue I had is when I restored my SMS, recent calls and WiFi locations using Titanium Backup the phone would not boot after restart. It locked on the Galaxy S2 screen. My previous rom was CM 10.1 weeklies. Anyone know how I can transfer my SMS , recent calls and WiFi locations without causing an issue? Thanks.:confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thunderbls:
Probably best if I just start over lol... wouldnt by chance have links for these files? I am not lazy at all but on the chance you could save me some time that would be great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bitemeoftn:
Pull down the notification bar. You should see what looks like a text bubble with a circle around it. If you click that that'll start HALO then you can set it up from there using the HALO))) app from the Play Store. Hope that helps!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
Yeah I thought that's what was suppose to happen, but for whatever reason it just isn't working.

Maybe it's model specific, mine is a SPH-D710

Not sure, I just know of the 3 only 1 works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttakacs:
FL24 modem here

TW ICS kernels here

If you don't want to flash hood pope first, you can try flashing with the Blasphemy kernel instead, here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Xhalo floating needs another app to be invoked. There's a video on the portal explaining how to use it http://www.xda-developers.com/android/halo-popup-on-any-rom-using-xposed/

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
I had this problem once with a different ROM. Wiping clean and reflashing might work. Unless you already tried. Try installing supersu and then follow the directions after you open it. It might be able to restore root for you.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dirtyhewr:
Okay so I think I figured out why I thought it was working. When I turn my gps on, I don't toggle it in the settings menu. I turn my gps on with a toggle... When i do that, i don't get the location consent. So i thought it was working... When I toggle it in the android menu, however, i still get the consent...

Sorry bout the bad advice lol...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] htb723:
Thanks! It seems odd that the phone would do this, when there's never been a shortage of storage space before. Oh well

I am using the built in the rom toggles, and it still gives me the message, so I'm curious as to what your using. I might give that a shot.

Going from what I did a google search for and youtube, it looks as if the camera stuff is the main thing, smaller stuff like status bar icons line up now I guess, the transparent notification bar is better looking (shrugs....dunno,

What is art and what does it do. I saw it in development options.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
It is the new runtime made by google Android run time. It's google's solution to solve problems with dalvik and to optimize the entire android system. It's still in the alpha stages though so it's not recommended for daily usage.

As recommended by other users here use the PA Mini Modular package if you want to use ART.

Edit: I kept getting force closures until i removed Google Plus and Google wallet, now not so much. I flashed mini modular over and removed all Googleplus, wallet, dsp manager (i use viper4android), mms (this is a spare phone not a daily so i don't use it as a cellphone),and hangouts. I do get com.google.process.gapps has stopped though. Hopefully someone can help me figure out why.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beezie42:
Art was working great for me until I rebooted a second time.

Now I cant get into settings at all. Was working before. Tried clearing data for it but it was no help. Guess it still needs some time to work correctly.

Still it's a awesome rom even without art!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
Keep in mind, art is in alpha stages, so pretty much anything alpha stage means well, bugs, fc, glitches here and there.......I personally choose to use dalvik for now....and sit back and watch art.......but I appreciate those who are adventurous and try art, it makes it nice for those of us who sit back and watch the progress :).

That and given the fact that android 4.4.x are all gona cause people to re-vamp their apps, so that on top of art, well it's kinda a remake of stuff and is gonna take time. Nexus phone is their baby, so they are using it as the guinea pig experiment.

I gotta say though I do love the look and feel of the new nexus phone......very sleek and sexsay! :cool:

Somehow this rom just seems more stable wise....not sure if it's a placebo affect (and that is possible) but it just has that rigid sturdy feel to it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
After testing ART on the s2 I would not recommend running it, especially for daily. Only good for testing right now but it is not stable.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
Probably the same for all variants of phones as well, so I wouldn't feel to awfully bad. Even so, at least it runs well in dalvik, and it's the latest version, that in itself, on this 2.5+ yr old phone speaks volumes about things.......I JUST about gave up on modding this phone, then dastin came along....man am I glad he did! my phones got new life again

Anyone found the new camera apk file yet? I have a new camera apk file but it doesn't install. If so could ya link it please.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
Nope ART works very well on Nexus 5,4, moto X and HTC one so far. It looks like the only issues with it is the CM builds for phones that don't natively come with KitKat.

You might need a new battery. Try calibrating it by draining until not even the galaxy s2 logo turns on then charge it to 100% unplug and charge some more especially if it falls under 100 immediately after unplugging.
