Another thing I thought worth mentioning is that every time you flash a new update, you have to change permissions on "vanirnice" to make it work correctly...

I read this somewhere in one of these threads lol... it's a custom script made re-nice vanir... don't know what it means but it sounds important lol...

It's located at /system/etc/boot.d/00vanirnice

So the permissions should be sweet as follows:

So to bring up an old issue that I haven't heard in a while, I'm still dealing with the phantom vm issue (it drives me nuts) any body got an answer? Every time I clear it, if I lose connection (which is all the time in Sprint in my area) or go from WiFi to data or vice versa, it constantly comes back with an annoying notification that I can't make go away
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackmeth:
I don't use voice mail.. But if I remember some where in the mekko or villuminati thread there was a post about using Google voice or another asp of play store
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kevin cracolici:
Yeah, I hate Google voice I just undid it, the problem with it is if your data connection is not good you cannot download or play the message. I'm ok with the spring vm but it's the phantom vm - you don't have that issue? Vm notification always there showing you have 4 unread messages?

Nah man.. I never set up my voice mail lol.. Pisses work off :p

Hey monsta

Got a log here.. I'm running the 4/30 nightly commotio

Been using the dho minimalist gapps. On a few other nightless but wasn't running log cat when it happened.

Every now and then I lose network connection WiFi and data. It doesn't seem to happen when using cm11 gapps thought. I had this same issue a few nightless back and dirty flashed cm11 gapps and stopped happening.

Finally had logcat on to catch it.

Toggling airplane mode fixes it.

Who knows?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kevin cracolici:
Ok so I think I figured it out, but sure yet still testing but if I did but do I feel like a noob for a problem I've been dealing with four long time. I had always downloaded the spring vvm and it worked fine but fit the phantom voice mail indicator saying I had 4 (always 4) messages even when I didn't have any. The apk that I downloaded always remained in download folder on sd card where I installed it from. Last night for some reason I decided to move the apk to the apps folder in the system file and appears like may have resolved it.. in my best homer Simpson impression... dooooh

Only up to 4.2.2. Any android version after that has no wimax. Sprint is dropping it in like 8 months anyway.

Little known thing. The gyroscope and compass are broken in this device which is why the orientation is slow. But this device also has a dedicated orientation sensor. Which is why no one ever complaints about the broken gyroscope and stuff ^ ^. Im actually working in it along with the gps but I have had very little free time since I moved. Plus no internet yet :/

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackmeth:
Cool. Hope you get time to work on it.. its mainly a cosmetic thing for me. I installed a 4.2 build to make sure my sensors where good. Its just a pain mainly.. in some apps it doesn't like going back to vertical view without a fight lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Oh I know :0 I had really bad problems on jelly bean when I'd first came out. A bunch of stuff was broken. I used an app for the orientation. I don't remember what it was called :/ but if you have nagging issues with it you can Google it.

Well guys I upgraded to the s4 and passed my s2 on to my boy to use as a game boy lol..

The s4 build of this room is awesome!!!!. I'll still update s2 every now and then and post logs if there's any issues.. Everyone helping on this ROM kicks a**!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kevin cracolici:
I'm right behind you, upgrading to the S4 either today or tomorrow hopefully, I also wanted to say a big thank you to everyone that has been involved and worked so hard on this phone, not only keeping it from being obsolete, but making it as good and fast as most of what Is out there new. See ya on the other side.. Or in the S4 forum.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbradf44:
Which has less issues? Like with mms or sd card or are there any issues with either?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackmeth:
My s2 has the commotio 4/30 build on it. Using 8sms for MMS sense the stock wasn't working for me. but that was the only thing really

I'm using the commotio 5/8 on my s4. Only issue in noticing is performance control apk setting aren't sticking after reboot. But seam to work if you change them under setting. Still playing with it though.. haven't really plaited with the sd card transfer

Hey guy 611 is working ^ ^

I did a clean flash though so be weary of that.

*NEWS*

The boot animations' frame speed is too fast so the wait feels longer

Art is working

We have a bunch of new cpu governors:

zzmove. lulzactive, hotplug, alicornq, PLus the usual.

Maybe a new IO scheduler. vr; I'm not sure if it's new I didn't check ^ ^

The wifi reset thing is still happening.

The themes app has had a major overhaul. Please check it out. It crashes when you select wallpapers though

New screen unlock gesture. Unlock your phone by drawing something.

Another crash is selecting more in device settings.'m sure thats due to galaxys settings apk missing though.

Thats it for now. Visually it's same old same old :D

Always fluid and fast though

I have more testing and searching to do so stay tune ^ ^
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] THIRSTY GNOMES:
Linux guy have you had any problems with memory? For the past two months I have been using ART and Hotplug govenor set at 200 min, 1400 max with ROW. It has been damn smooth, great multi tasking, with great battery life. Now on 4.4.3, it seems to have a weird issue, where running any one app ( almost everything is greenified on my device) the device will slow down to a crawl, and actions like opening the app drawer can sometimes go so slowly, I can see the lines drawn all the way down the page, really weird. When this happens its just like how our phones appear to freak out when setting it to 1600 mhz on a stock build freezing and force closing... dont know if I am alone on this one. If I manage to look at memory when this happens, the phone is pegged at 1400, and memory shows that its ran out of space. I tried bumping the in to 500 min, and dropping max to 1200, but it still happens.I have since switched to pegesusq at 200 min, 1400 max, still with row, having no issues on the 4.4.3 builds. I will admit I flashed the newest nightly, so I cant provide any sort of logs.

Does this sound like a kernel panic? Maybe a bug with hotplug on 4.4.3?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Will firstly I'd advice you to not use greenify. It turns out it's just placebo mostly and if you're gonna greenify an app you're better off uninstalling it. At least thats what I heard.My personal use would confirm that though. It's not that it's bad it's just not all that useful when you have a custom ROM

By "memory" do you mean internal storage? system storage? or RAM? if you're running out of system storage try flashing the smasllest gaps you can (GAPPS minimal or slim GAPS)

If you think you're having kernel panic (You're not ^ ^) just reflash :D make sure you're md5 Checks out.

I personally use Pegasusq and SIO. with min set to 100 and max set to 1500.Or sometimes it's min 100 and max 800. Usually the latter honestly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] THIRSTY GNOMES:
Yes, I meant memory in terms of ram.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Oh right I forgot to tell you to change minfree to default. This rom needs little work as far as system and OS tweaks.

Use what ever you used to change minfree (Performance Control?) because this ROM doesn't include that anymore. It's best to wipe to remove any weird stuff from 4.4.2. And not restore system data, only user.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] electricallew:
I changed the boot animation zip. After reboot, all files in system/media gone. Is it possible that rebooting while file manger was in root mode with system/media folder open might have caused a glich?

Epic 4g- Commotio on 4.43

Edit: After reboot there was a notification that said "applying boot sequence". Maybe a clue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
no don't worry that's not how file systems work. the only problem would be rebooting mid write. I've had that happen with changing font though. I always had to wipe. maybe your recovery is messed up.

I'm on the 17th and it's not doing that at all for me . Running fine except I do have an fc on wallpapers . The fc on more has gone away . I think they're getting the 4.4.3 merge ironed out but overall rom is running very well for me . What gapps are you using ? 4.4.2 or .4.4.3 ?

I was on the 17th build as well. Dont have the zip file any longer, so I cant comment on the timestamp, I know a build gets updated here and there through out the day.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Nah they never turn out over one build a day unless there's a major screwup but I've not seen that before here . We were on the exact same build except I'm on DHO's gapps which are optimized and created with this rom in mind since he is one of the developers for Vanir . No reboots here knock on wood .

Should you wish to try the gapps for 4.4.3 you can find all his gapp packages here . http://www.emccann.net/dho/5-Gapps/

Your pa gapps should be fine though . I like those too .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] htrowpiks:
OK so I'm also running 6-17 build. I also get the wallpaper fc. I was thinking of using another 4.4 kernel and seeing if my volume gets better as it is a little quiet compared to villuminati. Anyone have any luck with any other kernels? I was thinking about extracting the villuminati boot.IMG and testing out on commotio 6-17.

"If it ain't broke, fix it until it is!"

boost volume

On the volume comment. Dastin cranked up the max_volume settings in /system/etc/tinyalsa-audio.xml after a user ( I forget who) did some testing with the values and posted his best results. That's why villuminati has better volumes. Here is what you can do to get dastin's settings into this ROM.

Download dastin's latest build of villuminati and unzip it. Navigate to /system/etc/ and copy tinyalsa-audio.xml and paste (overwrite) it into the same place in this ROM and reboot.

Done...

If you have a backup of villuminati on your sdcard, you can use nandroid manager https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.bkrestore to pull the file from your backup and overwrite it that way. After you paste it over the one in this ROM just reboot and you're all good.

Remember to save the file on your external_sd because if you flash a newer nightly, it will go back to the default settings.

Maybe we can get these settings incorporated into the nightlies by posting results
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] htrowpiks:
Mavrikmeercat, thanks for that tip, I will definitely give that a shot and post my results. The villuminati build has had the best sound of any ROM I have flashed for this device. I'll post as soon as I get some free time. Also would this file be the reason my volume steps work better as well?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Krowbarr:
4.4.4 nightly running smooooth:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mavrikmeercat:
Yes. I can post my results are the volume is exactly as villuminati. And are much better / louder without distortion. I just use DSP to tweak it from there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IamFlynn:
Awesome! 4.4.3!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttakacs:
In the file tinyalsa-audio.xml change the line

<ctrl name="Master Playback Volume" value="75" /> to

<ctrl name="Master Playback Volume" value="80" />

and then reboot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LucentBirch:
I can use the 4.4.3 dho gapps with 4.4.4, right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mavrikmeercat:
You're right, I actually tweaked all the volume settings in tinyalsa-audio.xml like master volume, headset and Bluetooth just the way I liked them while I was using cm11 as my daily driver and then just put a copy on my external_sd so no matter what aosp ROM I'm on, I just overwrite it with the one I tweaked to my liking. But the settings dastin has in villuminati is pretty good over all for someone who doesn't have much knowledge in editing code. That's why I recommended doing it that way..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cfli1688c1:
Nvm. I had notification on the dialer turn off, once I turned it back on, everything is good.

When I start a call or receive a call, it will leave the dial pad and go to google search. It will still ring.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] htrowpiks:
So I extracted the tinyalsa_audio.XML and put it into the 6-17 commotion build and it worked just as well as it did in villuminati. Still wound up going back to villuminati for now though. It just feels more stable than anything else... Until I start using the 4.4.4 nightly which will happen very soon...

Battery issues

I had seen earlier someone had posted issues with great battery drain. I fully charge mine and within an hour (and it's not even heavy use), the battery is already down 80%. I just purchased this battery as well (not a stock battery, but a third-party one, pretty cheap). battery use was good on CM 10.2, but when I flashed this I see quite the power drain.

Could it be related to install process? I was coming from an FL24/CM10.2 setup before. Is there a particular or ideal modem and kernel I should be using for Vanir?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperGoober:
That's wierd , I find this rom far more stable . 06-25 runs great . Enjoy and don't let the door hit ya in the butt bro .

I'm getting about 2 days low to average use using FL24 on a used stock battery .. Maybe try a reset one time . That often corrects battery drain issues on many roms ,especially the first time you install a new rom over something else . Be sure and wipe your cache and dalvik too . Flashing can drain a battery fast and also give an indication of great battery drain . The reset along with a fresh charge should get the battery sync back in order for you . You can also try 06-03 Vanir . That was one of the best I've ran yet for battery life .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Victor.Moran1:
I didnt like that it tried to "update" prl and stuff over the air, i already had donde that using QSPT and diag mode, and it messed that up because the dialing update kills this phone.

Was just going to try the latest nightly (vanir_d710_4.4.4.062514.zip), cleaned phone, flashed rom then flashed latest DHO gapps (44Current-DHO-GAPPs.zip) When it boots it gets constant "VanirAOSP keyboard has stopped" kind of stuck there.. anyone else get this?

P.S. just for anyone, incase it happens again.. instead of using DHO's latest gapps.. i used PA micro modular and everything worked perfect..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Victor.Moran1:
