i had to DL them vie computer- when i tried using tapatalk it was doing all sorts of odd things

[MENTION=5391876]MonstaDriva[/MENTION]

im currently on the Commotio test build with the extream kernel +1 man

im setup with

Nova launcher using Night theme

OC/UC 100-1400

UV -25

hotplug/CFG

ComaDose V2.1 W/ Crossbreeder V. 7.2.13

dpi 182

loving this .. no lockups. battery life is awsome

will do a benchmark later and post it

im using chomp SMS for mms, best one i can find for USCC

I do have a questiosn about the kernels audio driver. is alot quieter on this built in version then the flashable one. i saw in the Mokee thread i think... that the audio module was changed. is this built in kernel using that driver or the older one? I am not sure what the difference is. but sence i work in a datacenter the audio boots is a big++ in my case.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kevin cracolici:
For some reason I try to download comadose, have used it before with other roms, but always getting status 7 error
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Just guessin I would have to assume its the older one . Once we get a handle on everything thats different I imagine mbt would update it for us .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LucentBirch:
I'm really enjoying the extreme kernel. I'm glad there's something else out there other than just the stock kernel now; been missing that a lot on KK thus far...

What is the link for crossbreeder that you're using?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackmeth:
you will with the 4.4 recovery what i do is

1. flash the 6.6 blasphamy kernel

2. reboot back into recovery ( advanced > reboot recovery )

3. format everything. I use JB.Format_All_X2.zip here

4. flash ROM

4. Flash Gapps

5. flash tweeks

6. reboot

this is the only way i know of to install 4.4 + tweeks if you use them.. i saw posted some where about just swaping out a file in the zip with the 4.4 one but i cant remember what file it was.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kevin cracolici:
That's the kernel I have and use if I need to get back to cwm recovery, I guess I could try again flashing that kernel again then using the jb format tool, never use that. Just can't decide if it's worth going thru the set up all over again.

I read thru the thread on that jb wipe and concerns me a little, something to do with trouble restoring a back up if you need to, have you ever had any issues?

---------- Post added at 01:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 AM ----------

I think I Figured out why it won't work, when you install the blasphemy kernel it installs cwm 6.0.4.5 which is for 4.3, that's how I could then flash Comodose, because it's for 4.3, I don't think he has made for 4.4 yet, so when I flagged the Rom and started to load apps wouldn't aspire me to even lad more than a few cause it said no space. Restoring, and week just stay with what I got at the moment lol

---------- Post added at 01:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 AM ----------
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackmeth:
not sure why this isnt working for you. .. you may have a bad download man .. i just flashed the test build tonight doing this.

i haven't had an issue with the jb format i linked. there was another one a while back that did mess me up though. im not saying you have to do this. you can just do it manually. this is how i do it because im normally at work when i install the updates and this is the only way to install comados and extream tweaks that i know of. unless they where updated and i have old copies still.

CWM 6.4.0.5 is able to flash 4.4 also, this is how to flash villuminati
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kevin cracolici:
Yeah that is how I used to flash villuminati as well. Not sure what's going on, tried several different downloads. No biggie I guess, thanks though
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kvevand63:
The file you are referring to is the update binary in the manifest folder. I flashed crossbreeder by replacing the update binary with one from a 4.4 ROM. Worked like a charm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
[MENTION=5391876]MonstaDriva[/MENTION], commotio DL link working for me now. Before there was no puzzle showing. BTW, latest vanir build works great. Only problem is fc when send is clicked sending MMS. Tried stock, textra, 8sms, and one more I forgot the name of. On my way to work so no time for log. But will get one when I get home.:D:thumbup:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Im curious if anyone can beat this strictly stock untouched by a tweak and stock clock score with all those tweaks people are using . I would advise anyone to make sure you get a few baseline scores before you change stuff up so you'll know whether its hurting or helping you . This first picture is strictly stock with ART enabled , Default speed . Without ART its about 3500 on that test score . The second picture is strictly stock except I bumped the cpu up to 1500 in performance manager and again ART is enabled . My single biggest jump comes in just having ART enabled . I'm getting reports of serious degradation with some of those obsolete tweaks out there . There's not one single tweak or performance enhancing thing installed . Just ART and of course the cpu bump up on the higher score . If your scores are seriously going downhill then something is working against you . Oh and these are on the test builds with the extreme kernal but my scores are almost the same , just slightly lower on the stock kernal we've been using . Also bear in mind these scores can swing up or down a couple hundred points from one try to the next . My best results are to run it immeditely after a reboot . I'm including two more pics of Antutu and quadrant strictly stock with ART enabled with CPU set to 1400 .

First Pic Second Pics Last two pics

CPU = Stock Speed CPU = 1500 CPU = 1400
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
To all using the jb format all zip....that zip will work.....but I prefer to do wipes myself...very easy and quick. With no problems. I haven't had a bootloop in months. Unless it was from a test build ROM.

1...wipe data

2...wipe cache

3...wipe dalvik

4...format system

This is the cleanest wipe you can do..short of wiping you're entire device..Lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kvevand63:
I agree with you 100 percent. Vanir and Commotio both have included tweaks in which one of them is a modded Crossbreeder for entropy only. The other included tweaks are your standard type kernel tweaks that we are all familiar with since GB. I have been experimenting with different tweak packages with these two ROMs. I uninstall the included tweaks and any other files that are associated with the tweaks prior to flashing the ROM. I have tried Crossbreeder, OKJ and my own tweak package. I use to obssess with benchmark scores, but I tend to rely now on "seat of the pants" for a lack of better terms. In my opinion and at least on my device, this ROM runs best as is from the dev. The inclusion of mtb3000s Extreme kernel just made it even better. I am currently running 0211 Commotio with Extreme, ART enabled, the stock Commotio tweaks and a hosts file for ad blocking. What a great ROM!!

CPU at 1400..performance .... Min at 200
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NavalFluff:
So this is my benchmark results. Seems I'm doing something wrong :( CPU was only set to 300 - 1300 with zzmove governor
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Very Nice !!!!!!! Seems you have some sweet settings there .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
No...your good. On that app you're going up against scores set from our buddies here at xda...Lol. I think its more widely used...I'll post a score from there to show ya..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
here is the antutu bench mark...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Yes and remember those scores can swing a good bit . I might run that again and again and never make it past your score . I don't have a zzgov , mine was just the ondemand .

Man your quadrant is fast , what other sweet settings you got ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
I use greenify to stop apps from running when I'm not using them...but that should not affect the score. Im just using the kernel that came with latest vanir test build and have the governor set to..min 200...max 1400..on performance with cfq..and im on Art..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NavalFluff:
Huh. Well, my phone runs smooth and everything works well so I'm extremely happy :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
Just another example that....even though these devices are the same. Not all chips are made equal and not all ROMs will perform the same.

I myself can not run aokp on this particular device. I have tried builds from ICS up..just performs badly...but give me an aosp or cm build and watch out..Lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Nice , now if you decide to go to ART you'll get about 4400 on that Quadrant .

You guys should visit this site from time to time . See the pot cooking with the Guru's at work .Always something interesting and there are so many killer wallpapers down in the depths of the post .

Would one of you be kind enough to explain the difference between ART and dalvik in somewhat simple terms? Google searches have given me a lot of tech jargon that doesn't make all that much sense to me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
A difference in how the system caches programs… art is the way to go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Here's a pretty good explanation http://lifehacker.com/android-art-vs-dalvik-runtimes-effect-on-battery-life-1507264545

You should have quoted his post… so he will definitely see it…

He said he wanted a simple explanation… thats why i posted about the cache. I find that the easiest way to explain it. Thanks for the link tho.

And thanks for the link to google plus… ive been talking with a few guys over there..pretty cool stuff happening.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
+1 for the good changes..i see this rom becoming the ( project x) rom of aosp roms… its that good and the guys working on it are awesome,
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackmeth:
Hey guys been playing with my setup and the three pics are the best out of 3 benchmarks ad follows. These are on test build of commodio 2/10 extram kernel build

1. Pure stock install only tweek was CPU time 100/1400

2. Same test with ART enabled only difference

3. Using the setup I posted before with comados crossbreeders

I'm testing this on the USCC release of our phone. Really to my understanding the only difference mainly is the wimax card.. 4g isn't available on the sch-r760.

Everyone's phone is different. But the cool this is regardless these are the best Scores I have gotten on 4.4 ROM's anyways.. This ROM kick a$$

Is there anybody thats not having this Force Close issue when using the stock messenger and pressing settings ? DHO needs to know if its just some or all . If your not having it please let me know . thanks

Also fc's happening randomly sending SMS and MMS on stick and 3rd party messaging apps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Unjustified Dev:
tried hangouts? Get a logcat when sending mms and press ok when it force closes. I will look with my small java skills. My d710 isn't in service.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NavalFluff:
I've just been using 8sms on every ROM for awhile now. MMS always works as does everything else.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Unjustified Dev:
What ics modem do you use?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackmeth:
i been using chomp sms works the best on USCC atlest
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NavalFluff:
Fl25
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
The modem wont make a difference for mms working or not…as long as you have a signal.... some modems get a better signal in different areas.

I use fl24 and fl27..depending on where i am that week… i travel for work...and i almost always have mms and sms working. But the first thing i do on any new rom is fix my apns… im a boost user.

The stock message app is working for me fine… except the settings fc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Unjustified Dev:
No , a friend installed commotio but was on jb modem. Wanted to know what you guys use.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
Oh..i see. My bad. Mind if i ask what device hes on….

As for this device… all cm, aokp, aosp roms need an ics modem to have data.

He has a d710 he donated me a d710 the reason I have one. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Icetech3:
Just curious if anyone can point me ina driection to change the MMS url.. im on ting and can't sent any mms's without changing the mms url. On a stock rom you can dial ##3832# or something but that doesn't work on any other roms i have tried, thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
Dialer codes only work on touchwiz based roms..

I use nova launcher and create a shortcut… .long press screen..pick shortcut… pick activities… pick settings… pick apns..

Now just press the short cut and edit or create a new apn. Remember to save it and that its the active apn when you back out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackmeth:
Once toy have your apn setup. If your still having issues. Try chomp SMS , textra or 8sms. Chomp SMS works best for me once apns are set in its settings for USCC. Others have luck with one of the other two
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Icetech3:
Thanks much. kind of got it working. rather than just hanging on "sending" forever it now tells me my message size limit reached and can't add picture to your message.. will work on it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
That setting will be in the apps setting menu… which is force closing. You might want to try an app suggested above.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Icetech3:
Thanks guys, didnt see his msg about chomp before i posted, its working now:) cept the original messaging is picking up incoming texts not a major thing:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
Go into phone settings… sounds… and turn off notification sounds..if it bothers u in the status bar you can remove the stock message app with a file browser… its in root/device/system/privapps. Or u can try to block it using the app manager..system apps and turn off notifications.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Icetech3:
All set, thanks guys.. sorry for the newb stuff.. never had those issues before

---------- Post added at 03:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------

Wanted to clarify, the problem is there, but I disabled the app and use gosms. I usually just turn off the notifications in stock app, but because of the fc issue, I have to disable it so I don't get dual messages
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
OK, [MENTION=5391876]MonstaDriva[/MENTION], commotio working great. Only issue I've found is fc when long press on homescreen, click 'system wallpapers,'. So no big issue for me, or anyone else im sure. But dho prolly will have that cleared up by the time I click send for this message...:D:thumbup:

---------- Post added at 11:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 PM ----------

I'm sorry about that, but the wallpapers are working just fine. I was thinking about my tablet. Anyways, everything is ok except MMS, like vanir. :D:thumbup:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NavalFluff:
So while using the Extreme kernel from the Mokee thread I've had 2 random shut downs. Is there anyway to uninstall a kernel? Or should I just do a clean install of Vanir?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Hey guys how's it going? My phones micro USB thing went worked so I've been out. Mostly cause I don't get xda notifications on my computer but partially cuz I'd have no phone to play with

Anyways. What's the version number for the newest ROM? In getting the date as Jan 22

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackmeth:
there is an "official" vanir 2/11 or commodio 2/10 stock CM kernel

OR the test builds posted by monstadriva in the OP. they have extreme kernel built in.

the last few days DHO and others have been working on some big changes .. not sure what exactly they are but i'm sure there going to be kick a$$
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kevin cracolici:
Ok so I have this issue going on and I'm about to lose my mind. I've literally spent hours going through ever thing I can think of over and over again on this phone and cannot figure it out. My phone won't go dark, unless I use the power button. It won't ever lock itself, all the screen will do, after the preset time is dim. It will not go black and turn off, no matter how long it sits idle. I am sure it's something stupid I'm missing but it's driving me nuts..Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
What have you flashed… ?

If just the rom..check daydream, do you have your device plugged in?

Check display settings..

If you use gravity screen… uninstall and reinstall.

If you still cant track it down… a clean install would be my next move.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kevin cracolici:
That's what I'm thinking, not sure if anything different I downloaded, I did have some of the xposed stuff on there, with gravity, but I uninstalled it. Daydream is not active, since happens whether plugged in or not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Here's my idea, turn off debugging and see if that does anything. It sounds like a hardware problem maybe.

DHO you kick ass!!

---------- Post added at 01:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 AM ----------

hey guys

i asked about this before and it has happened on my phone. 3 times and my wifes now also last night.

this dose not seem to be a consistant issue, more of a random thing. but..

after changing the settings in the performance control a few days later the clocking stays maxed out at what ever its set to.

also i have noticed that after a reboot the governer may change back to ondemand from what other it is set to.

to fix this i found that disabling the apply on boot

reboot

use fix permissions under performance control

check the clock speed again if its still not kicking down

reboot once more

this happens with the extream kernel (that i still think kicks ass) not the CM one

has anyone else had this issue?

im only bringing it up again because its happened on both phones now. the first time i sumed it up to a bad flash.

i didnt have catlog running at the time it happened unfortunaly, didnt think about it becasue of how smooth its been the last few days
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
Thanks DHO… you're the man.

[MENTION=5391876]MonstaDriva[/MENTION]… thank you too. +1 for what DHO said. Thread looks great and thanks for getting this rom some attention on this forum. One of the best roms ive ever run.

---------- Post added at 06:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------

I can say not apply at boot..it has caused me problems before..but if you insist. Try a different over clock app. I cant remember the name of the one i used, but it made a flashable zip you could use if the device didnt boot or if something went sideways on you.

Edit… the app is called… SetCPU
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ryuk666:
DHO I love this rom. So far the best battery life I have ever had on any phone I've ever owned. You are the man! Okay now to the serious part. So I've been looking for a bit but I don't think anyone has found a solution yet. (issue has been reported already) But I'm having a problem with calling people. If I call them it doesn't work on the first try. Usually works on the second. But every once in a while they can't hear me no matter how many times I call. But if someone calls me first they can always here me. Every time. The first time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
It will get worked out… this was also a problem in the early days of 4.2 cm/aosp/aokp roms. I dont use this device much… but monstadriva said changing over to automatic in the call settings helped his calling.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Oh whoops I meant the "Vanir Version"

I flashed one and I'm not sure it flashed right. The "build date" maybe too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LucentBirch:

OP - added link for DHO minimalist Gapps

New build last night for Commotio with the extreme kernal . Hopefully a new Vanir will follow tonight . If we don't have good success with this kernal for battery life etc we can always swap back .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kevin cracolici:
So seemingly took care of the issue I had with my phone not sleeping, by clean install and moving to the vanir latest nightly, but really started having the issue with every call out, no one could hear me, so did some checking on what seems to have worked as a fix is I'm running the latest vanir nightly, but swapped it with the extreme kernel from mokee. So far so good, no issues, running 200/1400. Quad scores just under 3800, really smooth.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NavalFluff:
