At first I was like that's a lot! To read! But I realize yes I know that. It's strange. Sorry I've been less helpful im moving and don't have internet yet :0

Does the sound cut off happen with speakers and headphones? And which apps? How come I never have these fun bugs :/ weird thing to complain about i know :D

sent from tumblr
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jabbajac:
Haha it's alright. I'm just posting my own experiences. It's not horrible inconvenient but would be really nice if fixed. Generally I listen on headphones and it's most noticable with the 8tracks app when it plays instrumental music, things like classical music and such. It's actually really noticable if you listen to something that gets soft then loud then soft then loud. At the softer points, it'll usually cut out and come back when it's loud enough. I feel that it may have something to do with volume threshold and whether or not the port is enabled for a signal below a certain level. Would audio information like that show up in a logcat? Is there any way of tracking whether audio is being outputted to a device?

Thanks!

Hey folks! Don't know what I did, but lost external SD card. Corrupted. :(

Back up.

Titanium backup showed it one minute. Gone the next.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Does the external sd card work elsewhere. You'll probably have to go back to stock

I remember having something like that happen I think along time ago, can't remember what Rom, but I think with phone on, I removed sd card, then reinserted, and I believe it recognized it, I know it sounds simple but have you tried it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackmeth:
I had that issue a few builds back.. Rounded it up to just flashing to much.. Low level formated them and hasnt been back sence

Kind of a drag. I was going to do a fresh backup and format anyways, but I procrastinated.

Flashing DHO gapps

PSA: Public Service Announcements by DHO

1) Gapps: The proper way to dirty flash Gapps is FIRST the GAPPS then the ROM. For a clean install you flash the ROM then the GAPPS.

-- Why? Vanir supports automatic Gapps restore. If you dirty flash the ROM first it resurrects dead libs + other Gapp taint

2) Any problems with dialer/phone, clear your data in dialer.

To be clear all of the above was just a quote from DHO . .

Boot Animation

On another matter a possible new boot animation is floating around but its in HD . but the resolution was way wrong for our phone so I adapted it to work on our device . I think Vanir is wanting a general concensus on whether people like it or not . If you'd like to try it , feel free to post back your opinions . I'm not to wild about giving up the Viking but it is nice work . I think it could be better .

Here are some steps for those not use to changing the boot animation .

I use Root Browser for this type of procedure from the play store .

1 . Open root browser and go to system/media . highlight the old bootanimation.zip and copy it somewhere just to save it in case you wanna go back to it .

2. After you have saved it somewhere just delete it from system/media

3. Copy this downloaded one to the system/media folder .

4. Change the permissions on the new one after you've copied it over to system/media to 0644 . That would be all 3 read boxes checked , the top write box checked and all the executable boxes unchecked . The 3 boxes on the bottom also are all unchecked .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jabbajac:
Hmmm...I just followed these instructions and the boot animation just kept going until I got an error that says that com.android.systemui has stopped. Fortunately I can click okay and then have like 1 second to do an action. I eventually got around, converted the animation to the minimal and then rebooted the phone, and it fixed it. I followed your instructions but maybe I'm missing something?

Thanks.

Edit: I forgot to say...I actually like this bootanimation.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
It should be said that you can also have an app do that automatically. Jrummy has one. Look up boot animation in the play store.

Just wget this directory and zip it ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
No it's a folder. Dang gdrive makes this hard huh? If your on your phone open it in Google chrome and check request desktop site. Then file save. Meanwhile I'll upload it elsewhere.

Whoops sorry didn't read right. It is actually a **zipped** directory but gdrive thinks you wanna see inside it. Always. And that's fine because flashable zip files should have had a different extension. Like .fls or .and. Does anyone know how to use Photoshop (or gimp) to convert and edit a gif? Then again it's a lot easier to let dho and the team know that this animation runs to slow due to its sheer size ^ ^ they'll probably make an hdpi and mdpi size hopefully.

The last one I linked is an HD version that Vanir did and it works fine on an HD phone . http://www.mediafire.com/download/5v..._Boot_1080.zip

Ok experts, need some help, I've been dealing with excessive battery drain for a couple of weeks now and can't figure it out if get it to stop, I'm talking anywhere from 80 to 200% an hour. I can physically watch it drain, bbs doesn't seem to sure much, I've clean flashed, dirty flashed etc. Any help would be appreciated. Let me know what I can give, but sure how to do logs, I can try to let sit for 4 hrs tonight and see if I can post a log
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kevin cracolici:
Example
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Well I'm not an expert. But... I have had this happen to me. So... I'm at least acquainted. So as you all know most phone contracts (in 'murica that is) last 2 years. Then your expected to switch. Why? Because that's about the time batteries start to crap out. Get antutu bench mark. I think it has a battery test. Use that and report what you get. You probably need a new battery. How old is your epic?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kevin cracolici:
I thought about that, I'll give that a try, it's pretty old, I just love this phone and what developers have done with it, I can upgrade but didn't want to lol. I'll download that app and post some results. Thanks Linux guy
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
I agree Kevin, the ET4G is a very solid device, I used one for about 2yrs, the roms and kernels are perfect. If you got a new battery, or an extended battery, that phone will last you another 2 yes for sure.

I traded in for an S4 and it seems the roms and kernels are solid too, been a flashaholic since I had my palm pre and the S4 has plenty to play with ;)

I hear both of you loud and clear. I had a gs3 stock and that felt slooowwwww.... Actually. Every phone I've had has felt slow and heavy if that makes sense. Yeah I have a double capacity battery. Honestly it lasts little more than half my day. But I'm decisively a very heavy user. I get 4 to 6 hours on screen. Which totals to about 8 hours of actual use.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
1 hour. That's pretty bad. Not too atypical for the amount of time you've had that phone. I presumed. I say buy a pair of batteries from the interwebs with the external charger. It saves your charging port grief. And their about 20 through 30 bucks

sent from tumblr
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jabbajac:
Wow ummm that temperature seems a bit high to me. Try this, pull the battery out, place it on a flat surface, and spin it. If it spins for a while, that means it's time to get a new battery. Ordering one off amazon is cheap and fast. I swapped mine out for an anker battery and it's basically running close to a full day, though I'm not a very heavy phone user.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Krowbarr:
Avoid the 4/21 nightly. FC's everywhere. In status bar next to signal was 4G symbol lol. Managed to get into settings and under "data" LTE was checked. Ok.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperGoober:
I dunno whats up with that . I flashed it about midnight and its been running perfect for me . Dirty flashed . Not a single fc or data problem on 04-21 so far and I use ART .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Krowbarr:
Strange,I also dirty flashed over 4/18 nightly. Data was working even though I had the 4G symbol but everything was force closing. Probably a bad download but that doesn't explain the 4G symbol lol. Oh well, that's why we make backups.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Haha when in doubt check the md5 checksum. Even afterwards just to make sure.

That battery spinning trick sounds handy :0 I didn't know that. The only reason I knew mine was completely broken is because it also overheated and got super big :D I still have it too ^ ^ all fat.

You guys should not get double capacity batteries. They make your phone look ugly. Like it's neat at first but eventually it's stupid. Just get two. They also make batteries the same size but higher capacity. For this don't go cheap. Brand matters I think. Your phone will feel new.

I'm only seeing 3G but I'm not in a 4g area .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kevin cracolici:
Agreed, I spun it and it's a little swollen, not horrible, but based on the temp and the results of the test I've no doubt the battery is junk. I have also heard a lot of negative things about aftermarket batteries, so I suspect i will just go stock replacement
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jabbajac:
I'm using an aftermarket Anker battery. Getting surprisingly good results with it. This is what I got. But if you're a heavy user, I suggest checking out some of the package deals. I remember seeing a 2pack of batteries plus standalone battery charger for ~40 on amazon for the d710.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
I use some like these on one of my phones that has a bad usb charging port and they work great on it . Plus the charger and free shipping makes it a pretty good deal .12 bucks for 3 2200 mah .

Keep in mind I did not flash a gapps package yet.. The latest Vanir is good by stable by itself, if you have problems, it might be from gapps your flashing.

Hope this helps!

This is the first time I've flashed Vanir, so Its my first time runnning it. Been on rooted GB27 and IT feels great to be back on AOSP!!!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] copota:
First, a big thanks to all involved keeping this ROM going, and bringining it to the SPH-D710.

So far, this ROM (installed Vanir nightly) has been running great on my E4GT. No problems with FC's, as I had some problems with the couple other KitKat ROM's.

I'm new to this ROM, and was hoping someone can answer some questions I have?

I can't seem to find the Performance Manager. Is this another app that needs to be installed or activated? Or are the performance settings pre-configured?

I posted a screen shot of my system info and a Quadrant benchmark. Just curious if my benchmark score is normal for my phone and this ROM?

Thanks for any help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Thanks for mentioning that actually. It looks like performance manager isn't there anymore. Just install it from the play store or wherever and it'll show up on the settings menu again.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
They took it out of Vanir because so many 3rd party tweaks are readily available is what I read . As mentioned Commotio still has it . I'm including the performance control apk if you want to play with it . I just pulled it from Commotio . Also thats a very decent score on your benchmark . With Art enabled it can go quite a bit higher too .

You can also download the latest release of performance manager...

Download f-droid from store (repo for a ton of free stuff)

Install...

Search for performance...

The new version has more stuff in it...

I've also noticed that the only performance manager in Commotio now is the baked in version... used to be able to install new version, and the link in the settings menu would take you to installed app... not the case anymore, so just make sure to click the actual app to open...
