Hey could you try different gapps? Make sure they're small like slim gapps. Also with art turned off.

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 PM ----------

I've had a very severe case of that when I switched to art after i flash regular gapps after I had a bunch of apps. Basically switching to art puts you in a tight spot when you do that. The only way to fix it is to turn off art or uninstall apps. Both of which I couldn't do because the fcs wouldn't stop. I had to wipe. Now I know I can just switch art off through twrp :) that would have been useful...

---------- Post added at 02:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 PM ----------

We could probably argue about which is better (spoiler I have no idea) but I can tell you it works. Since you can't find Odin. You can also try heimdall. Seems like a hassle. Just the Samsungs kies thing is what I use. (Used, I haven't seen stock in decades )
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] electricallew:
Maybe Rwilco12's Android Repository might have the file?

Am I a flash junkie? :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
The Repository does have all that you need. Thirsty you have been around since Project X, I would have expacted you to have the one-click handy at all times. ;) Long time no see. How are things? I see like me, you are holding on to your E4GT. :)

I did some searching on thei ART and what he's up to. It basically boils down to space. If you don't use an app or don't need any of the installed apps, delete them.luckily I had 55MB so there was no problem going to ART. I am down to about 116 apps/59MB and this thing is movin' and goovin' like the Tempatations on Soul Train. I am plugged into my laptop usb charging with WiFi going, screen on. Of course Xposed is a NO-NO. Not bad considering I updated to B-68 from this morning. Likin' the Commotio. I think the "OK Google" issue is weird. Mine started working just before I swithced to ART.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maheboi:
OK
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperGoober:
It's been said before in this thread , but anytime you switch to art always power off the phone for a minute after the first boot . Don't just reboot . You'll be surprised how the fc's will disappear .

For those with theming issues... I noticed vanir and xposed screws up the theme... Commotio works with theme and xposed... At least for me lol...

I put dialer and incallui into the whitelist... hope thats what you meant :) not sure what gravity screen off is though.. thanks for the help. will see if it works..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
Its an app that turns the screen on or off without touching the power button.

Anyone have orientation and screen rotation issues? When the screen rotates to landscape it can't go back to portrait.

None here. Rotates fine. Did it just start and what build are you on? That could make a difference.

Try wiping cache and dalvik. Other than that you can dirty flash the ROM again.

Already did that, as well as data wipe and system wipe. I think the problem lies with the phone itself. Maybe from being dropped?

What bigmike said.

But you may be right, I have seen phones with broken gyroscopes and stuff from dropping. There's an app for rotating your phone manually... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate

If you need a quick fix or it really is broken forever.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1mp4c:
I'm on the vanir version (6-23?) and I have this issue a lot. It will sometimes eventually switch but if I'm in a hurry I have to use my phone in landscape to finish what I was doing. Hitting home to get out of app fixes rotation for me as I have home screen rotation off in Nova launcher. My rotation worked fine before this rom. I don't think it's that big of a issue tho so not complaining but it is def there!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperGoober:
Mine is rotating fine but I'm on a newer build . Your on the very first 4.4.4 build I think which was 06-23 .That build was likely a little buggy because of the code merge Why not update and see if it fixes it ? You should be able to dirty flash it fine but if you do flash , power the phone off after the first reboot into the rom , especially if you have any fc's .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] electricallew:
Finally flashed back to Commotio after 3 week hiatus. Flashed back from stock-rooted. MMS is working. The pesky false voicemail notification didn't rear it's head until I installed chainfire's superSU and rebooted. Probably was the reboot though. Too bad I didn't have a log.

"Smooth like butta"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperGoober:
Since my last post I went back and flashed 06-23 and a couple of other builds between then and the latest build . I found rotation works perfect , almost instantly 1-2 seconds every single time on every build so its definitely not the rom . maybe you have some setting altered thats causing this for you ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
I remember rotation being a problem way back. There was a flashable zip for fixing.

Did it work in stock? Try stock and if it still doesn't work I think it's kaput.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
Now I have no USB access from my phone to my PC. The phone charges, but USB Debugging does not. I have it checked in Dev opetions. Also notice my phone boots when I instert a battery. Don't need to hit the power button. Anyone have any clues as to what may be the problem? I am on Commo B-68 7-23 build. RUnning ART.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
To eliminate hard ware possibilities, boot into twrp and turn on adb side load and see if it works.

Turn of developer options and then on again? Maybe revoke adb access.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
OK. I'm gonna try those. So far I have

1. Wiped cache/dalvik

2. Clean flash

3. Restored backup

4. Checked MTP in storage/USB connection settings

5. Select mount USB in recovery

6. Changes cords (both work on my S3 mini and were working on this phone)

Ok. Now that o have been able to think, the USB does work. If I plug it in, it charges and it charges like an outlet. This is the symptom: the PC doesn't see the phone. I have all drivers in stalled and it is not only my laptop, but my PC at work as well. Normally when I plug up to my PC, I get asked to turn on USB debugging. I am not getting that now. I believe it may be a software issue because the phone is charging. If it was a hardware problem, I would not be able to charge the battery. This really sucks.

"Its probably windows guys..."

- linux guy

Just kidding. But do try a different computer. If you were on linux id tell you to run lsusb -v and show me the output. Then I could tell you better.

But since youre on windows open up device manager. Right click "my computer" and look for manage. A thing opens then look for device manager and look for "?" Or "!" Or anything weird. Unplug and replug your phone and push f5 and see if stuff happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperGoober:
Have you tried a build that you know was working properly in the past ? If so does it still work correctly ? Also are you using a theme and if so which one ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
I am currently on a nand which worked. I have Brushed Night theme installed. The USB charges the phone, I can check and uncheck USB Debugging notification. I can check and uncheck ADB, I can go to storage/settings and check and uncheck all 3 boxes and nothing happens in any combination. I have clean flashed and restored. I am going to try two more things before I activate my spare phone. Once I have that activated, I would feel better about trying to get to stock. I am running ART. I will restore Vanir (stable/dalvik) and see if anything works. If not, I will go back to TW (Project X) and try that. At one point the phone acted like the charger was still connected and everytime I change batteries, the phone boots by itself. Any ideas? USB tethering does not work. It still says USB not connected. All this while plugged in my laptop. I installed Zatta and it said USB debugging not checked.

anyone have MMS working right on boost? APN settings don't seem to stick... pics work, but sometime don't download for 3 days..

---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

not sure but I just installed the newest nightly so I'll test it out and report back. Like I said though, it's not a big deal for me either way, I'm just glad you guys are working on this old dog of a phone and keeping it alive! :victory:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperGoober:
Try going back to the stock halo theme one time . Reboot after choosing stock theme and try it . I've had a few themes that totally changed the way usb acted with the pc . Just try that and see .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mavrikmeercat:
MMS works fine for me on boost. For me, in order to get apns and mms and all working is to

Odin flash a rooted FI22 (boost ICS).

Then once its booted, go to seetings -> about phone -> updates -> and update prl and profile.

Then I Odin flash Agat recovery kernel.

Reboot into FI22 once more and install and use triangleaway.apk to reset flash counter

Then reboot into Agat recovery

Flash JB.Format_All_X2.zip.

Then flash latest 4.4.4 nightly just to get latest kernel/recovery

Reboot strait into recovery. Dont let it boot fully.

You should now be in cwm built into vanir.

Flash JB.Format_All_X2.zip again

Then flash the ROM and gapps one more time.

After it boots, no need to mess with apns in the rom. all your apns and modem stuff will carry over from the stock rom. And you should have no problems with mms at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1mp4c:
Rotation seems to work fine now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
Ok. Did that and nothing. I restored a 4.2 ROM and still the samething. I got my spare phone and WHAMO. The spare phone shows up. I uncheck Android Debug and the PC recognizes. I check it and USB Mass Storage shows. Same cord 2 different phones. On the activated phone, I pressed the power button and "Powered Off" the phone. It rebooted. The phone still works and all, I just can't get it to recognize USB. It is not the PC or the cable or the ROM. I am even able to get to download modes, however that dosen't do any good as the PC won't recognize the phone. I have a choice. I can stay the way I am with the activated phone. I can activate the spare phone. (still doesn't fix the problem) or I can upgrade. I think I will pass on the upgrade because I truly like this phone. I may swap the activated one. Anyway thanks to everyone who participated in helping me with this issue. Man this kinda bums me out. I gotta find the bright side.:(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperGoober:
Sounds like your usb port may be on the way out . Maybe one pin not making good contact . Pins for charging still intact but maybe the pin communicating the device corroded or just bad .There are videos I think that can step you through replacing the actual port with a replacement . probably tedious but I'd google it . You could also elect to sell it on ebay and buy another .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
Yea I got another one already. Just debating on activating it or upgrading. The problem with upgrading is I probably won't be hanging out in this forum any more.:(

yo big mike,have you tried commotion b65 yet?im in the middle of the download now and was wondering if you were on.update..I got it up and running,and it looks good.boot anim is nice too.i didn't flash a kernel with it like I did with vanir,so im going to see how that works with it.if I have to I will flash fl27 I think that is the modem,and blasphemy (niuclear mistake)is the kernel.anyways,its nice,holla back when ya can,lemme know what you think
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
It's easy. First make sure you have your phone on the same network as you computer. Then type adb connect 192.168.*.*** it'll say in the icon. Then it works the same as if it was connected.

You can take your music out using adb pull. For example

"adb pull /sdcard/music c:/where/ever"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
I was on B68. I prefer the Extreme Kernel. Quick charging on USB. O will say that odex is way better on battery than deodex. If you can switch to ART. Plus I have only 105 apps. 8hrs on battery with 80% left.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Another easy way that works great with this phone is Samba File Share at the play store . Very simple to use and sets your external and internal sdcard's as shared folders on your home network just like other pc's . You can drag and drop to it from the pc , copy from it and vice versa . One of the best programs I have found in a long time . I mostly use es file explorer also from the play store because it scans and finds other pc's on the network . You can copy files from the pc's with it but the samba makes it easy to move , delete , copy files on your phone from the pc . https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.funkyfresh.samba&hl=en

I'd definitely recommend B68 and no need whatsoever to use another kernal . The extreme kernal included can be tweaked and works great . FL24 is newer than FL27 so if your sprint FL24 would be the one to go with .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
I prefer B68 also. It was a really smooth ROM and with the tweks and ART, my battery was 1 1/2 year battery was getting 24hrs of use with WiFi going. 2 hrs of screen time. Unless something is wrong with my phone (i.e. USB ;)) I have use my phone when I have nothing to do. ExtremeKernel rocks. :good:

Just curious... are guys guys finding kit kat to be VERY laggy on this phone? I love my phone but am starting to wonder if its time to move on..

Have been using nuclear for awhile.. wanted to try commotio last night. installed fine and booted but got constant "com.android.systemui" crashes.. anyone know a way around this? Nuclear has been giving me alot of random reboots.. hoping commotio doesn't..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
I am on Commotio B68 and have no problems. Did you clean flash? Yes, I know you can dirty flash either ROM over the other, but if you having problems, the first thing is to always wipe data, cache and dalvik. It the problem still persist, then a clean flash is required. Change the Govenors and I/O to something not as laggy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Icetech3:
Yeah totally clean flash, wiped cache partition. system wipe.. then flashed. rebooted a few times and wiped cache again.. same same..

sorry to be a bother... I grabbed jb format all x2.. ran it and it messed up recovery for me.. I can still odin. So i grabbed philz_touch_6.19.3-d710.tar.md5 but it gives

<ID:0/003> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/003> SingleDownload.

<ID:0/003> recovery.img

<ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!!

<ID:0/003> FAIL!

in Odin 3.09.

same with Agat_GB27-v1.4.2F.tar

So i grabbed StockCWM-EL26.tar.md5 which has never let me down before.. and it lets me into recovery now.. but a old recovery of course. i can't seem to get anything to flash propely with this recovery due to its age i assume. Just hoping you can point me in the right direction to get back ona updated recovery..

I did grab philz_touch_6.15.9-d710.zip

But its telling me i'm trying to flash onto the wrong device and that i don't have a d710.. have had it for years.. i know what it is:)

---------- Post added at 01:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 PM ----------

Actually.. i got AGAT 0.2.2 on.. and tried to flash commotio and its telling me that the package is for a d710 but my device is a ""

Found SXTP_Agat_GB27-v0.3.0.tar and it installed.. but still same error like it doesn't know what device its on.. Odin shows that its still a d710

OK.. just a FYI... ended up downloading samsungs recovery tool and put the stock JB on.. so im back to square one.. now to ruin it again:)

BTW... what is the proper way to wipe to do a clean flash so i don't do this again....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Icetech3:
OK... think i got it fixed now.. ended up having to Odin on the el26 cmw5 rom.. then updated that to phils touch.. then i could put liquid on.. will try commotio in a bit..

No idea why i couldn't odin on philz or agat though..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
It seems you tried to restore a backup. You can only restore from the same recovery you backed up in. If you backup in AGATs, you have to restore that same nand with AGATs. Philz is not good for restoring backups. Once you get the ROM installed, you can use that recovery to backup and restore, you won't have to use Philz again. You should have the following on you PC:

1. SPH-D710_FL24_Cl1173404_REV_2_ROOTED_NODATA

2. SPH-D710_GB27_1014481_ROOTED_NODATA

3. SPH-D710_GB27_1014481_ROOTED_RESTORE

these three files will always get you back to square one without the worry of bricking. I would also suggest a copy of EL29 and EL26. I have never used Odin with the PDA. the one-click does it with no problems. Make sure you get Commotio B68. and be sure to use ART. FYI it doesn't work if you are using Xposed.

Ooh can I comment that xposed might work? There's an experimental build that is starting to have support for art. Not that I'd recommend it because I don't personally use art or b86 or even xposed. I've been trying to stay stable these last days :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Weird thing is I have the same line as he does in my build prop but all I do is select runtime , then Art and it reboots and changes to Art without doing anything extra at all . Have you tried that lately or is this just a habit ? Works on Villumati , Vanir and Commotio confirmed .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kvevand63:
Both. Im currently running Commotio 012514. I first flashed ROM only to make sure it boots and ART enables. I then did my described method of editing buildprop and clean flashed. ROM is ART enabled by default from initial flash. Done this on this ROM, Mokee 4.4 and Villuminati, all worked. Takes a bit of experimenting, have a nandroid. By the way, and this may be open to argument, I also odex the framework, /system apps and /system priv-apps using Odexer tool 1.1.1. I read that odexing is ART friendly and visa-versa, and at least on my device, a very noticiable improvement in performance. Makes this and the other 4.4s run absolutely fantastic. Again, in my opinion.

It could but I'm not sure it would have time to save it using catlog since it reboots immediately .. You would need a more expert opinion than mine . Perhaps with it hooked to a pc would work better , not sure . I'm wondering if your problem isn't phone related though since you said its been a problem with all the roms . I have two of these and they will go to art flawlessly on cm, vanir and commotio .Just wondering if you have a bad block of memory or something that's hanging you up during the process ..With the various methods you've tried it should be working . Did you go to mounts and storage and format the system manually ? I'm sure you've also tried with just installing the rom and no gapps , then booting and switching it first before you flash gapps ? Also wondering if there is an app that could check your data storage integrity like check disk for a pc . Something that could check each block to be sure you didn't have a bad one . I'm just stabbing at it ...
