[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] THIRSTY GNOMES:
Sounds like I should stick clear of newest Vanir... Anyone have issues on Commotio? I am still on Jun 24 build and its amazing! I love the new CM/Android 5.0 heads up notifications. I hide my taskbar with lighting launcher, and love getting those notifications. Having one weird issue, and I am not sure if this is a new issue, or on going as this is my first time doing this. I have a 32 gb micro usb I am trying to use from my friends phone. When I try reformatting it the phone tries, then reboots. If I try in recovery it will say device not found (when I try reformatting sdcard(1)). Any ideas whats going on? Works perfectly in his S3, and my phone supports my 8gb card just fine.:confused:

Android 5.0? 0_o
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] THIRSTY GNOMES:
Went on a whim that Lollipop, Lemon Drop, Licorice... is gonna be Android 5.0. Too big of a design overhall to be anything else. These are in our Rom already and its f@#$ing sweet!!!! http://www.androidauthority.com/heads-up-notification-mode-cyanogenmode-395848/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Yeah it better be 5 already. I hope the dark theme will still be available. I mean the colorful looks great but gotta mind the battery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ps3hacker3:
Im sorry but dear god I hope this comes to our device soon cause this simply looks down right sexy
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperGoober:
Do you mean heads up looks sweet or android 5 ? Heads up is already in our device .

For me this had not been an issue as it just seems to be a pointless script for this device , it actually doesn't change a thing on my phone and you just skip it . Even if you don't skip it , it still doesn't do anything but fail .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mcflyy_:
Why the apps in the app draw look blurry ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LucentBirch:
Okay good deal! Everything has been super smooth thus far and without glaring issues. I'll keep better track of all the bugs that occur on my phone so that I have them once all the basic functions are up and running!

Thread has gone official and I've been trying to talk Dastin1015 into taking it under his wing . Who better suited and more educated to make it rock with all the little quirks the epic 4g touch has that only he really knows the workings of so well . Dastin is a phenomena and a prodigy of sorts . He's said he would look it over but has promised or committed to nothing but lets hope . The CM and Vanir use identical props and I'm thinking Dastin could do this with his eyes closed almost. If he were to take it then I'd just turn this thread into some other name and ask a mod to delete it and that way he could set up a new thread to his liking .Maybe if popular demand picks up he'll consider it . I like CM 11 just fine but when you go to buy ice creme don'tcha just love being able to choose from all those flavors . Anybody got stroke with the king ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LucentBirch:
my only concern is the kernel for this phone...dastin's stock has always been average for me, I have always seemed to do better when not using a CM kernel. There used to be regular updates on a couple of custom kernels, but they have really fallen to the wayside, which is quite unfortunate. If I had any knowledge on how to do it I would try to make one for myself and others, but from what I know of it it takes a lot of time and a lot of knowledge, which I don't have.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kevin cracolici:
So following the link Commotio, would like to try this but link takes to a page that apparently isn't any good, when I click on the asterisk, get a 404 page not found error. Am I missing something?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Yeah I think he's resetting up his server because he's starting with a brand new build called B63 . the one we're on is B62 . I think all the links are undergoing changes as we speak . Keep an eye on the thread and soon as its all back we'll post the new links . Sorry about that .

Heres you a temporary link that should get it . http://www.emccann.net/dho/2-Commotio/B62/

Might want to try his gapps too . http://www.emccann.net/dho/5-Gapps/44Current-DHO-GAPPs.zip
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
Im just wondering about the data issue...3g that is.

Could we take the lib files out of a 4.3 or 4.4 rom with working data...and make this work. I do believe such a fix has been mentioned before...back when 4.1 and 4.2 where being developed...

Im no dev...just thought id ask.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kevin cracolici:
I am really liking this so far, just the issue of data that's gonna bee a problem for me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
I was thinking the same thing...I'm no dev either, but since cm and vanir are so similar, seems like whatever the data fix was for cm would be the same for vanir. Just guessing:what:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LucentBirch:
One thing I do notice is that I can send texts no problem, but my phone shows absolutely no signal wherever I go. Anyone else show the same issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Vanir nightly

Ok 01-25 nightly of Vanir has caught up with Commotio so if you'd like to try it all the fixes and changes thus far have been merged so you should have the same functions with Vanir . . Be sure to try the inverted theme .

http://www.emccann.net/nuclearmistake/VanirAOSPNightlies/d710/

On the bugs like the signal showing all gray bars , stuff like that will have to be fixed yet .When mine has no signal its hollow and black . Now its filled in with gray showing its up and running , just no accurate strength indication . On the data issue he's looking at CM and comparing the githubs and I'm certain he'll mostly be plucking commits and fixes from them . I believe and agree the fix for CM will be the same for these roms .It might be a little while . I did download the Vanir this morning and flashed so I'm playing with it .

In the meantime Vanir welcomes anyone that can troubleshoot and come up with with fixes and commits for any of their ROMs to submit them for review . Its an open community . Doesn't matter what it is, any known or discovered issue you want to submit a fix for . Any and all help welcome .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LucentBirch:
This rom may be my chance to learn a little bit about how everything is built and stuff.....hmmmmmmm
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Thats exactly right . Say you get the rom and start learning and you figure out why the signal bars aren't displaying correctly and you test a fix and it works , Then you just go and submit that fix , they review it and incorporate it . Go look at the vanir open status and you'll seem lots of people doing that . They review stuff and merge it fast . I think DHO is setting the D710 with its own branch so that fixes and commits that only it uses are separated so that it doesn't pollute the whole tree . Just yesterday at the Vanir community

" Dave Kessler said

Yesterday 8:03 PM

our gerrit is at vaniraosp.goo.im. you're welcome to submit any changes you like for review.﻿

I sure wish Dastin would go submit his data fix <grin>

https://plus.google.com/communities/111378032131473754160 and if you work through that community you'll find some killer Heavy Metal Vanir wallpapers as well as see how they operate .

The sweet thing about both of these roms is just about any fix will fix them both .

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kvevand63:
First off, I want to thank all involved for bringing these ROMs to our device. Currently running Commotio B63 012514 build. Flashed it along with DHO gapps and ART enabled. Sorry I can't report on voice/data/sms as my device is unactivated. Otherwise, this ROM is very smooth and responsive. So far I have had no issues, and it has just enough customization features to keep it interesting. I have been running 4.4 since the first one hit the threads back in late November, and I am really loving this one. One thing I would like to point out is that the Commotio build boots up no problem after flash, but the Vanir build wont transition to the boot animation after the splash screen, although the device will reboot back into recovery ( gotta love nandroids). This occurs on the last two Vanir releases I attempted to flash using standard wipe procedures. In any case, you guys are doing a great job, looking forward to future nightly releases.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LucentBirch:
You got ART to enable? That's the most frustrating thing about these phones: all of them react differently...I can never get ART to enable on my phone...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
I'm not sure whats happening with your Vanir . I flashed both and they come right up for me . Try a dirty flash one time . These are the most forgiving dirty flash roms I've ever seen . The last Vanir is what I'm actually running on my phone since yesterday but I did do a clean flash at the time . Perhaps your having an issue going from Commotio to Vanir with ART enabled ? Just stabbling and wondering if Art has anything to do with it . I reflashed it again and it installed perfectly again but I had to reset , flash rom and gapps . I had enabled ART and it seemed to stumble until I did . BTW you do know you can still use that phone as a home phone over wifi right ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Are you saying its greyed out as in non selectable ? I just enabled art to check and its up and running on mine now .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LucentBirch:
No I will click to enable ART, my phone will restart but will not upgrade apps, just starts like normal...:(

---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------

Could having this in my build.prop prevent art from taking effect? "persist.sys.dalvik.vm.lib=libdvm.so"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Thats weird , when I tried it a little bit ago it rebooted and stayed on the boot animation for about 4 or 5 minutes . I wondered if it was hung up . Then it optimized the apps and finished booting . I'm running DHO gapps , not that it has anything to do with it .I never had the issue you describe so I don't know what to advise . When you flash rom and gapps do you ever manually format the system ? If you wanna give it a shot got to mounts and storage and format system , then cache and dalvik . Then reflash the rom and the gapps , then reboot and try . If your not sweating losing data I would wipe it too . Your not still injecting twrp or anything like that right ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kvevand63:
This is what I have been doing, with this ROM and other 4.4 ROMs; add the following line to your build.prop: persist.sys.dalvik.vm.lib=libart.so. Place it under the same line that ends with =libdvm.so. Do this after you can confirm that you can enable ART in settings. After you are certain, add the line and reboot. If you have ART enabled using the buildprop addition, you can then comment out (# before the line) the line that ends in =libdvm.so. Your ROM will now boot up ART enabled by default. I edit the builprop in this manner prior to a clean flash of the ROM, as long as I know that the ROM will run with ART. I have been doing this since the second update of Villuminati with no problems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LucentBirch:
I can add the line before actually enabling ART then? It's in my developer settings options, my apps just never go through the optimization process after I reboot. So if I can add that line to the build.prop, then click to enable ART in developer settings and then comment out the dalvik line that would be awesome.

You know what...it's probably that I have Xposed installed... :P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ps3hacker3:
No I meant android 5.0 in general looks sexy lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jcruz767:
Could I flash this rom on the boost version of this phone? I know that this model is sph-d710 and the boost is sph d-710bst.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greencartim:
Should be able too, I flashed it just fine on the U.S cellular version of the same phone. You might have to enter the apn settings manually for boost mobile.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mavrikmeercat:
Yep, running vanir 06-13-2014 on boost right now and typing this post from it..

Are you rooted already?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] THIRSTY GNOMES:
It could be a different pixel per inch then you are used too. Go to Settings > Interface> More... > LCD Density.

220 is the default for this rom, I think CM 11 Villuminati is more like 200+/-, always making it look blurry to me too. Try finding a setting you like.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jcruz767:
No I'm going to be putting this rom on my friends phone. I'm going odin Philz touch recovery onto the phone. Then just flash this rom and banks gapps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ajones23:
Im running the 6-25-14 nightly. Since Saturday nite and no problems,clean flash. I'm on VM. Love it,touchwiz was getting old and slow.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HulkSmashBurgers:
I'm currently on stock Virgin JB GB28. Is there a kernel/recovery and modem considered best for this ROM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Yes twrp. Although I think that's my opinion. I don't remember. follow this thread though http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2637510
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mavrikmeercat:
Use the built-in kernel and flash philz touch or twrp over it. Vanir's kernel works just fine and has lots of options for oc and gets pretty good battery life.

For modem, get the last ICS modem for virgin from rwilco12's repository. Can't use jellybean modem on any aosp ROMs for the d710.

Don't forget to get your APN settings from the stock ROM first and write them down.

---------- Post added at 11:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 PM ----------

I prefer twrp too. That's what I use. I like the file manager support and touch ui too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HulkSmashBurgers:
I thought flashing a recovery also included a kernel? How does flashing philz touch or twrp not replace Vanir's kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Short answer: no it doesn't. The kernel is usually in the ROM. But sometimes it's in the recovery. Basically as long as you flash the ROM last you'll be fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dirtyhewr:
Took a quick look thru the threads... No word on the disappearing Wi-Fi settings?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Icetech3:
No lost wifi here... only issue i am having is 3g disappearing constantly
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AaronCompNetSys:
Just thought I would pop in with a successful activate of my D710 running newest nightly Vanir on Ting. My only complaint is still the high battery use by the wifi chip during sleep, but I doubt there is anything that can be done about that.

My process in case it helps others:

Nandroid backup to SDcard current ROM test (Vanir)

Register MEID on ting.com

Flash SPH-D710_GB27_1014481_Stock_Restore (In hindsight I prolly should use have used SPH-D710_FL24_CL1173404_REV2_Stock_Restore)

Allow auto reboot and auto hands free activation, test 3G.

Flash StockCWM-EL26.tar.md5 via Odin

Pull battery, then boot into recovery.

Flash a CM ROM to setup partitions properly and update recovery, and avoid Status 7 errors (I used WILD-FOR-THE-NIGHT-08042013-d710.zip)

Reboot recovery

Format system

Full wipe

Restore backup from SDcard

Flash FL24.zip

Flash octhrope ting apns 4.4!.zip

Reboot system

That's all it took for me. Data, calls, sms works. Could care less about MMS, it should go die. XVoice+/Hangouts is the way forward.

Removeing XVoice (I use Link2SD just for ease of use instead of the Vanir util) and installing XVoice+ with Xposed works fine with Vanir. It may have lost some of its smoothness though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mcflyy_:
It was like that when I first flashed the ROM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Don't Flash Alert !!

Some bad commits got made in the last few days . I advise not to flash Vanir after 06-25 build until we can get it sorted out . Lots of errors and gapps issues . We're trying to get the reverts in so just don't flash anything after 06-25-14 and you;ll be fine . Watch for my next post when its corrected . I haven't flashed Commotio so not sure about it . Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] electricallew:
Oops...I already flashed 6-30 with 444Current-DHO-GAPPs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Sounds like your on Commotio , see how it does since you already flashed it

I noticed that if I turn off Wi-Fi before I reboot and then turn on Wi-Fi after reboot will save my password
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] THIRSTY GNOMES:
I am on Commotio 6-30 as well from yesterdays nightly. Running perfectly. I was having the issues your talking about with VANIR and thought it was just my phone. Thanks for the update:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Looks like the coast is clear , I'm running the 07-03 build and its remembered my wifi so far . Give it a spin and report any issues . thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] electricallew:
Running pretty smooth. I have gotten pretty good at setting up from scratch. I hate to admit it, but syncing with google prior to flashing will set up play store programs, contacts, WiFi settings, wall paper, and basically makes clean flashing super easy. I just flash and it is mostly set up...Although I haven't been using art for a while.

As for issues, I've had the same problems that occurred on earlier builds. 1. Pressing the "more..." setting under the DEVICE heading always results in Settings fc.

I don't remember what's under there anymore.

2. Still have an issue with MMS, or text with emojis. The messages want to download, but don't always make it. Sometimes they will just pop up after an hour or two, or a reboot. Toggling quick settings doesn't help as of late.

The Commotio nightlies are my daily driver. "Smooth like butta" Thanks MonstaDriva for pointing it out. And of course DHO and the vanir team. Whoo- Hoo!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Yeah that sync does help a lot when you gotta clean flash . I haven't had that fc on More in 2 or 3 weeks . I just assumed it was gone on Commotio too . There were 2 or 3 fc's going on around the time they started merging the new code . Vanir and Commotio use the same code and yours should be ok too . I decided to flash Commotio again and it is smooth but I don't have the fc on more . It goes right into the menu . Maybe you need a good clean wipe including data , cache , dalvik cache and then format system , reflash Commotio and then flash gapps . Maybe some residual from the roms that had that error is still in your phone . I' flashed the 27th through the 30th so far without that FC .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LucentBirch:
Anyone else having issues sending emoji from android to android? I gave my brother the same vanir version as myself (6-22-14) and our emojis don't work...yet I can send them and recieve them from/to my gf who has an IPhone...strangest thing...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Have your brother send and recieve from your gf as well to see if the problem is with his phone or something else . is he same carrier, meaning sprint, ting , boost , uses same settings etc ...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LucentBirch:
Yeah we're both on sprint. I'll have him text her when he can
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Settings Search

Boy heres a feature i'm liking thats in our rom now . http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...s-search-feature-adds-it-to-latest-nightlies/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] electricallew:
well formatted system, data, dalvik, and cache. flashed 6/30 again then dho 444 gapps. And the trouble sure did start. Had black screens, random reboots, tried same procedure again and couldn't get phone to boot ROM. I didn't feel like experimenting anymore so i flashed a recovery. that did work and all the trouble went away... except the menu fc :( I had used the same procedure before except formatting /system. I might try going back to stock and start flashing back up to clear away any weirdness.

I switched batteries too. maybe it was bad cause phone rebooted while flashing in recovery. thought I had finally bricked. Happily it isn't, well I'll sleep good tonight!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Man I sure am sorry that happened to you but I've probablly done all of that to 2 phones here about 10 times in the last 2 days without a smidge of trouble . Yesterday I did try several Commotio and Vanir versions and none have that FC anymore for me . None of those steps in almost any order should do anything but make it cleaner . Do you make nandroids ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] electricallew:
Wow! I don't normally think about all the trouble others have gone through which made it easy for me. Thanks to all! I do make backups from cm recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] THIRSTY GNOMES:
so.... why has a new build not been built in a few days for our device? Is source phasing out our device?? Call me a noob, but I dont know what this means. I checked the DHO beta link, and newest I see is from the 30th.

Edit: Has anyone compared newest build with Dastins new CM build? I think I have switched from a CM fanboy to a Commotio fan!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AaronCompNetSys:
There was an issue with buggy commits to code they had to clean up, and I think builds will start to resume. I found a new one and flashed it on the Vanir side.

I tried out the Android L theme made for CM Theme engine, and it looks great on Vanir! Even the keyboard gets themed properly. Be sure to check it out: [THEME][APP][PA][CM11]Herathon[3.0]
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] THIRSTY GNOMES:
Newest Commotio is out, but it does not have setup or GAPPS
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperGoober:
Can you explain more ? What do you mean no setup ? It won't flash ? I don't think the rom includes gapps either .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] THIRSTY GNOMES:
Setup as in "phone activation > do you have a goolge account > gps blah blah blah > profile name on device > setup is completed"

Also Vanir does not include Gapps, and must be flashed. Commotio included them (not this most recent build from yesterday, it only included built in apps)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
That was after a clean flash right? The L theme is great ^ ^
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] THIRSTY GNOMES:
Clean flash, wipe cache, and delvik, and a manual format system
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LucentBirch:
Every half hour or so I keep getting that stupid voicemail notification... Used to be able to swipe it away or force stop the phone app and it wouldn't come back until I rebooted, but now it just pops up at random, whenever. It is becoming a nuisance... Anyone have the same or a solution?
