I meant to ask you what build too. Umm so you're using you're GPS with Wi-Fi

Or device

Can you run this app? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest

Any extra stuff you have? For instance an experimental kernel I don't know about etc...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cfli1688c1:
i flash stock and got the gps lock, now back to 444 and able to lock. So, if you have problem with gps lock, try it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
Vanir 4.4.4

baseband = S:D710.10 S.FL24

Kernel = 3.0.101-Extremekernelv2

Vanir version = 4.4.4.071314

Build Number = Vanir_D710-userdebug 4.4.4.KTU84P eng.nuclearmistake.20140713.133420 test keys

I am using High Accuracy mode and with a solid lock. Nothing experimental. I just DL'd and flashed. I still don't have any apps installed yet. I am also on Sprint.

I'm gonna do what [MENTION=4636442]cfli1688c1[/MENTION] said. I guess we can say GPS works now. When did that happen? Haha. Cool.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
I have heard of others going to stock getting PRL,Profile updates and GPS locks and then flashing custom ROMs to have everything fall into place. Let me know what happens. I have tried using the Launcher 3 on the 4.4.2 and the phone was acting sluggish at best. I like the Liquid Smooth version cause it has hot words. that is not a deal breaker for me. I actually prefer to have MMS working instead. So with that, I will be staying here for a while. Plus the features are numerous.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
I didn't know liquid smooth was available for this phone. Anyways vanir is awfully smooth for such a featured packed ROM. By hot word are you talking about Google now? I can confirm that hot word doesn't work :p must be the gapps. What's your launcher did you say? Launcher 3? Launcher 3 doesn't have hot word detection I'm pretty sure. I used a nova launcher beta which has it. The Google launcher is great but the hot word detection also crashes.

---------- Post added at 04:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:06 PM ----------

Oh! Turn off hot word detection since it doesn't work. It drains your battery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
It works on Liquid. It was a feature in the launcher. You could create hot words. Hot works with my G-now on any 4.3 ROM. I have only used on this, Liquid and Villuminati. Download the KK version and it should work.

"Bug report" maybe this only happens to me. And honestly I'm only reporting it because it's creepy and wanna share :D sometimes when I drop my phone (I drop it a lot) or it freezes ( whenever I try snapchat) and it turns off abruptly, I turn it on and it will boot and all.

But once it does i cant turn off the screen so I usually set it down until it turns off by itself.

In about two minutes it does and I turn it back on. Then music starts playing. And I have nothing to do with it. It's kinds eery because I have only muse in this phone. But only for a moment. Its creepy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] electricallew:
Sounds creepy!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
CREEPY! If I am on 4.4.2 and want to go to 4.4.4, can I dirty flash or do I need to clean flash?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Dirty flash. If your run into troubles wipe. Make a back up first. Either nand or TB. Better yet both.

I've been too busy :/ restoring stock and going back to vanir is somewhat of a hassle since my windows partition broke or something. Plus I have another phone for GPS ^ ^ I plan to do it tonight
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
I got 4.4.4 up and running. Thanks.

i am on the 7/14 build, under setting, when i tap more under the device heading, it fc, anyone see this?

I had the same problem on 4.4.2 and 4.4.4.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cfli1688c1:
my battery is a lot better with the rom, is there a kernel that you all would recommend for even better battery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
I *think* you have to install the galaxy2 settings app. As far as a kernel I think that vanir uses the best available one. Which is the extreme kernel.

System Size

Hi, I saw info on page 6 and 7 about this, but it didn't go into much detail:

I've noticed after installing Vanir and then even trying to install the GAPPS (mini) through Recovery because I do not have enough space: It required 230MB and I have only 223 MB. Does this ROM use up most of the system space? Am I installing the ROM incorrectly, procedure wise? It seems such a limited space to even install any apps. I've tried flashing several times and the same results. Any direction anyone could provide would help! Thanks :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Oh is that still a problem? Install the gapps by dho. But first wipe and reformat and whatever including the system. Or see how your storage is with no gapps. I myself am also running out of space I just noticed. But I don't plan to install more apps anytime soon.

Oh wait that's the app partition haha. The system partition only has about .5 gigs and vanir uses I don't know 200+?

Here's a pic of my system partition layout. Including dho gapps

Oop you know what? Forget what I'm saying completely ^ ^ the dho gapps only take 70+ megs. Install those like I said :)

Thanks LG. I ended up installing DHO Gapps and have it with a little more space (330MB) available; doesn't leave my much room for my other usual apps, but I'll work with it. Able to reclaim about 5-7mb more removing system apps I didn't need, but it's gonna be a hard choice with what apps to select to install. Moving it to SDCard I'm afraid will break the link (and end up with phantom shortcuts - is this still a problem when moving apps from phone to SD Card?)

My steps were:

(1) Format both sdcard0 and sdcard1 through Windows

(2) Flash stock GB27 rom from Samsung site using Downloader tool

(2a) Flash EL26 recovery.

(3) Boot in and update PRL, profile, etc.

(4) Run JB Format All tool in recovery and flash ROM and then FL24 modem.

(5) Install DHO Gapps (link from first page).

Anyone having problems with the theme sticking? Mine resets after each reboot. With that said, did you dirty flash or clean flash and are you on 0713 build? OK I did a clean flash and got the same thing. Went back to nand. Now my question is, is there a way to delete the default theme and use an installed theme?

What theme are you trying ? Mine are sticking without issue . Also I'm not having the more settings fc either . Right now I'm running this theme on Vanir 07-13 . Gorgeous theme in cobalt blue .

Quick question ; how do I access the ad blocker that's built in? I've tried some of the blockers out there but nothing really seems to work like they did on my last jb rom. Is it KitKat? They say they r supposed to work but every app has ads...

Also I would just like to thank u for this rom because it has refreshed this old dog of a phone and made me love it again! Everything seems to work fine (some signal issues here and there and I do have that more menu crash) but all in all everything is going smoothly. GPS is even working better than it ever has for me but still is hit or miss but I think it's the phone..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
I might be wrong but I don't think this comes with adblock. Does it? Or are you talking about the app settings thing Google developed way back and never made public really? Privacy guard?

---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 PM ----------

I use the L theme and I've never had a problem. And sorry I couldnt figure which app exactly is the one for the 'more' settings. I'm pretty sure it's something like galaxy s2 settings. I really can't remember.

Is there any way to change the buttons on the navigation bar in Commotio back to the stock images by chance?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1mp4c:
In the first post it mentions built in ad blocking (probably in the forum of host file) but when I look at my hostile it's blank, just the local ip is there so it's not loaded with a black list. Using adblock doesn't inject the list either. Maybe I need to change permission for the file?

Also it seems there is no option under the data section to limit apps background data usage while on 3getc(not wifi) is this cz the plan is unlimited? On my att phone I have this option. I would like to limit the background usage of apps and also block some, could I use a firewall app for this and which one if so?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
You know you're right. A lot of the stuff that the op says isn't valid anymore. It's hard to updated so much because the changes happen so much. As far as a good firewall I highly recommend avast antivirus. Android malware is bogus and mostly fudd, but the app has a bunch of great features including an awesome firewall. TBH it's the only I've ever used so someone else should know better.

check the md5. I'd say always do that but I don't do that unless its too late anyways
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Yes ,normally you can dirty flash Vanir and Commotio back and forth with no problem as they use the same code . Sounds like a bad build but i'll download it and give it a shot .

I just downloaded today's Commotio and flashed dirty over 07-13 Vanir and it booted right up .No fc's whatsoever and running great so far . What build did you download ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] THIRSTY GNOMES:
I am having an annoying issue with SnapChat freezing upon login. Its not this roms issue, and I know SnapChat is a poor app, but it was working fine for me. The app will freeze on the login screen, and will lock up phone. On CM 11 Villuminati this will cause phone to restart and on Liquid Smooth it will cause screen to go black (can still hear sound from changing volume). Emailed Snap Chat and said my S2 with all "factory settings" :D will not allow me to login. They said to factory reset phone, and it should work...

This is where your help might come in. I tried formatting system, cache, data, preload, sdcard, and boot, as well as wiping both caches and factory resetting while flashing. Would flashing to factory, then using Odin, then coming back to Vanir delete anything that I haven't already deleted?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
Vanir has the updater where you can check for nightlies. I didn't see it in Commotio. How do you know there is an update on Commotio?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Yeah I've had that exact problem. My sister said it was a crummy app and that I need to have everything off for it to work. My password doesn't work but the way you do it is by turning it on first.Try that. I gave up on it ^ ^

NVM I guess the website just isn't very good :/ tapatalk shows it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Running a one click doesn't wipe the sdcard because you can run it and all your files , pics , downloads etc is still there . If an app is that quirky I'd look for an alternative . Everything you've mentioned should be just as good as going back to stock unless you need to re-provision your phone for some reason . There is a format called X2 that you might wanna try . I know nothing about snapchat so I can't help much on it .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Snapchat is just a gross app as far as programming. I use kik. It also freezes on my evo so its probably the app not being really supported for 4.4.4 yet. Thats what happens when you stay so ahead of the curve.

---------- Post added at 10:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 AM ----------

When you reboot , are you hoding the up volume button and power button until the samsung splash screen appears then releasing them ? I can't imagine why you wouldn't have recovery unless you've accidently . deleted something you shouldn't have . I've flashed at least 300 times and never failed to have recovery with this rom . .Wrong button presses ? Be sure of that . I think stock recovery might be down volume and power but this is up volume and power when the screen is black at reboot until the samsung splash screen pops up .
