So I've spent the last 10 minutes or so growing increasingly frustrated as I try to download dho's current gapps and cannot get the link to work, not even clickable. An I missing something?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Probably. Uh copy and paste this into you're browser. http://www.emccann.net/dho/5-Gapps/

Ok guys here's the next question, it has taken a lot of work but I finally got this thing to run on art, seems good, question is, if I flash the next nightly, (dirty) art is not gonna stay is it? Am I going to have to go thru this all over again?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Mt ART stays intact , in other words , I reboot into recovery , install zip , reboot and wait , after a few minutes it optimizes apps and completes . Now you need to remember this . Any given day whats been working might quit because flashing nightly's is flashing experimental . Vanir is a good team and are all about reasearch and improvements but bad builds do sometimes come out of that .

Since you've had so much trouble , here's a little extra info . lately my Vanir dirty flashes fine , I wipe nothing with it , but for some reason Commotio seems to hang after a dirty flash with ART enabled .Bear in mind it could quit that tomorrow . All I do to get it going is hold my power button until it reboots , then I go back into recovery and just wipe cache and dalvik ,and then it goes through the apps optimization . But yes ART is typically still intact and everything is just as it was . I suggest you make yourself a nandroid if its all fixed up so if you encounter bad problems you can restore it back just like it was .

btw that DHO gapps link works . Check your clicker out :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dirtyhewr:
I use the dho gapps package... I'm running the latest nightly for our device with ART enabled... I always dirty flash the rom... I have never had a problem with any FCs... Roms are funny, and one problem may not exist for someone else even tho everything was installed the same... The only thing i think i do differently than most is that i use TWRP for my recovery... Never had a problem with it, plus the touch interface is nice :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kevin cracolici:
Thanks MonstaDriver, because so far, I think I'm liking art. I just could never get it to properly switch over before. All good so far
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jabbajac:
Hi everyone. I recently switched to Vanir from Villuminati and I'm really liking Vanir. It's smoother and offers better battery life. I can't seem to figure out how to enable the weather on my lockscreen. Do I have to get a seperate widget for that? It was a built in functionality in Villuminati that I just had to enable.

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kevin cracolici:
Ok nevermind, spoke way to soon lol, I believe I'm destined to stay off art lol, way to many issues, settings keep reverting, launcher won't stay and Kris defaulting to stock launcher, then nova won't even be there, like apps were being removed, random reboots really weird but love this Rom, just no at
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kvevand63:
Found a zip tool that seems to be very useful in the event that your device bootloops after enabling ART. You can switch between ART and Dalvik runtime in revovery:

Yeah it's not on these ROMs. The rule of thumb is that if it can be a separate app it is. Or will be.

I use twrp only ^ ^. The fcs stopped now. It happened with specific apps. And I have a lot so I have no idea :0

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
That almost sounds like your moving apps to the sdcard with something like cleam master etc . If you are doing that there is a delay when you boot for that stuff to show up . ..If you are moving to the sdcard , move em back and see if that helps for now . I'm only guessin at that because that describes my symptoms for the apps I've moved . Right now I can move 10 apps to sdcard . Reboot and not one of them are there for about a minute then bam there they are . If nova launcher is one of them then the phone would revert to the other launcher because nova is no where to be found YET ! I have 59 apps on this phone and still got plenty available space left in the 2 gig and 12 gig partition for plenty more . Nova launcher works perfect here . Thats the one I use . Also , after you add some apps power down your phone and then power it back on .Not just a reboot . It will optimize them for ART . Every app I move to sdcard with ART enabled will fc afterward but powering down corrects them all . I can move 10 apps to sdcard right this minute and with art enabled 9 out of 10 will FC . I power the phone off, turn it back on and 10 out of 10 will run fine . If I reboot they will still Fc .

Just curious if any of you guys have google gesture search installed ? I love that app . Find anything on your phoine in 2 seconds . Just draw a letter with your finger . Can find contacts , music , anything practically faster .

I must be missing something.....how do I add a custom widget to the lockscreen? Or how do I get rid of one?

Thanks!

Edit: NVM I was an idiot...just had to swipe over a few more times.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
[MENTION=5184047]mtb3000gt[/MENTION] turned me onto it :) . I keep that app on the desktop and even go to a contact with it faster than going into people or the dialer as well as many other fast azz searches . Glad you like it .

@ jabbajac Go into settings , interface , lockscreen and you'll see a checkbox for adding custom widgits to the lockscreen . Try that and lets us know if you need any other help . Welcome to the Vanir/Commotio thread .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jabbajac:
Got it! I had to check the box and then on the lock screen swipe over a few times. I just wasn't used to swiping on the lockscreen. I have a little bit of an issue with data not recovering correctly, a small annoyance but nothing major. Otherwise this ROM is awesome, my battery lasts a whole lot longer on this ROM.

Ok so wats up with vanir, haven't seen an update in over a week, this is def not like these guys lol, running smooth over here,jus used to crack flashing
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Something maybe big is looming on the horizon . Builds for almost all the devices have been held up . Hang on and we'll find out before to long but I'm thinking some nice surprises are in store for Vanir users . In the meantime .....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kevin cracolici:
Let's hope whatever it is, it follows shortly for Commotio, I am not sure why, but I prefer Commotio over Vanir
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
LOL , I don't understand the question < grin > . I like Commotio too and have it running on one of mine . Did you try the last build yet ?

Good deal , like I said pulling and reseating something has always done it for me knock on wood . Glad you got it going . On the beep codes I don't know how universal that is .

Hehe...be careful what you wish for;). J/k...I'm actually happy to be able to stay a part of this great community!:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Hey guys it looks like DHO made some changes. I'm not sure if their for data but I just flashed it and I'm thinking it's a no (Even though it's not activated). He changed the kernel to dastin's custom one. He's gonna beat me and I haven't even finished downloading -3- darn internet
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Yeah he's been changing some stuff for a few days . I've been trying each day and sending him logs daily .I'm not to sure all the changes made it into last nights build though . Was a no for me on Vanir this morning too .He's getting close .Dastin said he would look it over when he gets time so we have hope in a couple of directions .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
progress

Houston we have a signal !! Please refer to the latest update in the OP for details . This is on the -1-22-2014 Commotio build http://www.emccann.net/dho/3-Vanir-mirror/4-nighties/

scroll down to D710 . I just installed and am testing but have made and received calls .Give it a spin and be sure to try the inverted theme if you like inversion . GPS , Wifi and Bluetooth all working ,
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
My work here is done B) **Did absolutely nothing**

DHO was too fast for me ^ ^ I also got stuck with the new kernel he used. I can't use it ^~^

At least I tried :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperGoober:
Whats wrong with the kernal ? It works fine for me . What issue you having ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
Those who got data/calls to work...did you go through the setup phone call it tries to do?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
ok mobile data (3G) doesn't work yet, at least not for me . My phone did dial some 5 or 6 digit number which gave me an error message . I just hung up on it and skipped data activation . My phone made and received calls right off the bat . I just sent DHO new logs and he'll be focusing on the 3G now . Are you able to make calls ? You should be even if skipping that activation stuff . I'm not to sure that activation script will work for our phone and it may be converted to be like CM11 without going through the process . Just skip it all for now and most stuff should work . Let me know how its going and feel free to make a catlog if you like .Speaker phone has good volume and the phone is pretty smooth . GPS locked in with birds faster and more of them than I've ever gotten before . It's gonna get better and better . Tomorrow' the Vanir build will have the changes he merged today so that it will be caught up with Commotio . I'm not on sprint so maybe a sprint user can tell us if that activation process works for them .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
I'm on boost, the activation call gave me an error also(why I was eondering), calls work good. WiFi works, screen looks great, maybe placebo...but it seems like better res than cm. Themes work, actually all around seems awesome, except data. I'm really liking the settings...lots of options. I'll try to get a log later tonite, if not tomorrow for sure. Great job man! Think this will be my new fave when data kicks in.

---------- Post added at 08:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

Also, are the logs the catlog app make good for him?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
yeah catlogs are fine . That's what I send too . But he likes them on pastebin.com with bash syntax . He says he's merged the changes that were in Commotio's build today into Vanir so tomorrow Vanir will be caught up and you can check it out too . Both are sharp ROMS but Commotio is pretty much his own Vanir variant .Glad your liking it !
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LucentBirch:
Joining the Conversation.

Quick question, what's the difference between VanirAOSP and Commotio specifically? I switched to test this out for a bit to add to the conversation because I don't really need data where I'm at so much.

Not sure why it tries to make a call to activate data...never had that happen on a rom before on this phone. I had trouble at first connecting to google servers on the play store, but clearing data fixed that right up. Have had ui process force stop, but i'll see if it happens again. The screen does look really good, seems a lot crisper than villuminati...just sayin'. If there's an option to turn off the hardware key lights I'm having a hard time finding it in all the usual places. If there's not, that's definitely something I would like to see added if possible because I cannot stand them at all. I'll use it for the weekend and give more feedback! Thanks for bringing Vanir to my phone, love it on my nexus :D:D

Quickly: having syncing problems...cannot connect to server to connect to google plus and photos :P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
I've also been having google related problems...

The setting to turn off those darn lights is under display & lights

I'm not sure what the difference is either ^ ^
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LucentBirch:
things seem to be working now, but still a little slow to load...

Under which submenu? I've gone through all of them and don't see anything...(derp...)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
It's got it's own menu item. it's not in "Voodoo" it's under "Device".
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LucentBirch:
I found it thanks though!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Vanir and Commotio are pretty much the same ROm except Commotio is DHO's custom take on it . Here's and older thread of his http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2065370 It hasn't been updated in a while but he explains it . Also bear in mind these ROMS have been being built without any feedback of sorts on the issues large and small from epic users until this thread started . It's beyond me why they were building for it since I can't find any history of Vanir in this forum . DHO is working each day on it when he gets home from work trying to nail down the telephony and such to get us online with it . He just emailed me related to last nights logs I sent him and hoping to have data for us soon . He's excited about yesterdays telephony success . He told me yesterday this after i reported the telephony success

" Fantastic!

Sounds like we are finally starting to make some major progress! I merged the changes into mainstream vanir, so hopefully all further nightlies will retain the function.

For any issues,.. need logs. Logs --> fixes

So I'm just updating you guys . Once he gets this data thing fixed he will turn his attention to the smaller fixes and optimizations . And welcome LucentBirch , glad to have you helping us out and pointing things out . We all use our phones differently so we might encounter small issues individually that some of us don't notice . Are you talking about the buttons on the bottom ? Home , back etc ? My hardware lights go off after about 5 seconds but its the very first item under the interface menu if thats what you mean . I just flashed both roms and confirmed those lights go off for me after 5 seconds on both roms .I haven't touched the default settings .

Once we get data we'll make a list of reported issues in the second reserved post . DHO doesn't post much really . I think he works on ROMS and gapps all the time .

Oh about the activation thing . Nearly every Phone Vanir builds for will do normal hands free activation with sprint just like a stock rom does . It does it with my nexus so its just part of coding that I think if it doesn't work for us will likely be removed .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kevin cracolici:
Lol, that was an oops post that I removed. I have downloaded the latest, not great with change logs, but nothing real noticeable jumps out at me, but seems to be running good

New build is good so far!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riggerman0421:
I have to agree. I installed it this morning and having been running it all day. So far no glitches, fc, random reboots, no problems at all. I think this may be the best build yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] electricallew:
I dirty flashed from 04/03 Commotio to Vanir 04/08 to Vanir 04/15 to Commotion 4/15, all while running art. Very "Smooth like Butta" :) No problems but one, but that may have been app related. My batt drained quickly, and phone was very warm after being in pocket.

What would be recommended for logging?

For me, Performance Control log dumps leave empty files.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Many times I've flashed and I've had the phenomena of going from almost full battery to almost dead after the flash and yes . it wou;d be warm to the touch . Honestly a power down after you've booted a new flash seems a good policy in general , even after doing ART stuff . Usually I shut down the phone and pull the battery then reboot and charge it if I'm having the battery issue , and then its usually fine . I think it's a matter of the battery level getting out of sync . 99 % of the time its fixed it . You may not even need to pull the battery . Just power down and charge if thats an option for you . I also just dirty flashed the Commotio about 15 minutes ago and my battery was almost dead afterward . I've put a fully charged battery in so I'll see how it holds up but until then try that first . If that doesn't work I'd next try rebooting into recovery and wiping the cache and dalvik . Then go from there on trying to log it .

Oh and now Commotio is dirty flashing fine without wiping anything with art enabled .

Audio cuts out?

How do people deal with audio cutting out when listening to pandora or things like that? I usually have headphones plugged in and listening to music while I'm working. And it sounds like audio itself isn't getting it's signals over because I lose even the low level of noise on my headphones.

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackmeth:
There's a fix in the villuminati thread about this issue. You can try editing your tiny-alsa file. The post is around post 1227 in that thread if I remember right.

Somebody should sticky that fix... It works on JB 4.2.2 as well as KK. Haven't tried with 4.3 yet but I don't see why it wouldn't work

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] XeoNoX:
After doing major research and experimenting here is the fastest way to install this rom:

Power off phone and boot into "Download Mode" (Hold power button & Vol down)

Flash One-Click EL26_Stock_CWM5.exe

Should Boot into recovery

Flash in recovery choose install from zip and select blasphemykernel-6.6-4.3.zip

Power off phone and boot back into "Download Mode"

Flash One Click FL24_Modem.exe

reboot into recovery

Flash rom zip file

reboot boot into rom and boot into android. Once fully booted then reboot back into recovery

Flash choose install from zip flash GAPPS MICRO pa_gapps-modular-micro-4.4.2-20140417-signed.zip and reboot/restart phone.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jabbajac:
Well I just tried it and it worked like a charm. My audio doesn't cut out anymore...of course I'll have to try it out a few days to see if that's really the case. But the instructions are as follows

STEP 1 - General Volume Mod

OK so I got the volume mod I was taking about

Using ES File explorer with root permissions and read/write checked in root explorer settings......

If you have the newest ES File explorer when you enable root just make sure you mount the directories as r/w and then hold down on the file and check to make sure it's rw for user/group/others and remember to change it back after you're done!

First go to /etc folder then go to bottom to a XML file named tinyalsa-audio.XML

Click file and use ES file editor

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

And change the 75 to 80, click back and make sure to save

Reboot and try the new max volume

STEP 2 - Independently Adjust Speaker vs. Headphone Volume Settings (I did this in addition to the above)

These lines are needed to make speaker and headphone volume go up, if you only want to higher one or the other.

For example if you only want boosted headphone volume then mod second line

Found in /etc/tinyalsa-audio.XML

</device>

<device type="speaker">

<path type="enable">

<ctrl name="Speaker Playback Volume" value="26" />

<ctrl name="Speaker Playback Switch" value="on" />

Change 26 to 30 for speaker volume only

</path>

</device>

<device type="wired-headphone">

<path type="enable">

<ctrl name="Headphone Playback Volume" value="15" />

<ctrl name="HP Gain Playback Volume" value="3" />

<ctrl name="Headphone Playback Switch" value="on" />

Change 15 to 20 and 3 to 5 for boosted headphone volume

(Note: Just below this entry, you'll see one for "Wired Headset" with the same values/levels set. If you have/use a "Wired Headset" (Headphones w/Mic & Op Buttons) in addition to standard stereo headphones, I recommend you change these values to the same level as those listed under "Wired Headphone".)

Instructions by drk65 from here

Edit: May have spoken too soon....the settings work well on EDM music but I still get the same problem switching over the classical music. Although.,....it does happen less now...and generally if I hit volume up and then down again it seems to work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] electricallew:
Sadly found an issue.

In settings, I turned halo on then back off and the screen went to immersive mode then immediately to lock screen. I am able to reproduce the effect every time.

The first time, com.system.ui (i think) FC'd. Then, i think, I pressed the power button and the screen went black. It stayed black after pressing power button again. Had to pull battery. I could hear power button menu sound every other time pressed, so I figure the ROM was still running. I did some other combination of menu toggles, which I don't remember, when that happened.
