[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lanchon:
great, thanks!!

i hope you can stay with the libre sensor lib rather than the proprietary blob now. message me if you think i can help with that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dastin1015:
Will do. I'm usually available on Hangout rather than on here. I've got a new semester starting today so you'll be able to reach me there easily.

Also working on getting CM 12 up and running
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lanchon:
dont use hangouts but you can pm me for my email anytime if you want. good luck with the studies!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dudebowski:
This is what xda and FOSS is all about, right in the last two posts here. Thank you both for collaborating peacefully and productively, and keeping this device alive.

What is a good log utility to use? I need something that logs to a file. I used to use aLogrec on my old phone, but now it is just producing 0K files. I'm guessing it's a permissions thing?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mavrikmeercat:
I think in kitkat permissions in /data are reduced. I found a workaround (I forgot where) by making alogcat a /system/app/* . then it will act like it used too and display logs correctly
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HulkSmashBurgers:
Thought about that, but I can't get Titanium to do it. System only has 20.2MB free.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mavrikmeercat:
Trim down the /system a bit. Things you don't use. For me, I usually get rid of the live wallpapers it comes with, and the calc app because I use realcalc for example. Just not any important apps that the system needs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lanchon:
use catlog. or repartition (see d710 trim kernel thread)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mavrikmeercat:
Still testing the sensor fixes [MENTION=4141005]Lanchon[/MENTION]. So far I have the same results as posted but I'll post some screens when I'm off work. Seems to be working pretty good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HulkSmashBurgers:
Thanks. CatLog works and seems like a much nicer app anyway.

So I've finally been able to get a log recording when I try to make a phone call when the telephony is locked up. Hoping someone knowledgeable may be able to diagnose the problem.

For context, I lose telephony functions almost daily at random times. When this happens I can not make/receive calls or send/receive SMS, When in this state, the dialer will lock up when the call button is pressed. A reboot fixes it for at least a day. I've been having to make random calls during the day just to make sure it is still working.

I thought maybe if I could get a log of the dialer locking up, it may provide some clues. Since the problem pops up at random, I've been sending my phone SMS via email from my PC multiple times a day in order to catch it. Otherwise there's no way to know ahead of time if the dialer will lock up. For once, it actually went three days without doing it. Ugh.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dastin1015:
An update for you guys. I've got CM12 compiling to completion now for the d710, so now I'm on to seeing if it will boot. If it does then I'll begin the process of fixing what I'm able to test for and once that's complete I'll be releasing a build for you guys to play around with and let me know how functionality works for stuff I can't test
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kjricker:
I installed the 20150125 nightly and I can confirm the sensors are working as they should. Would these same sensor fixes have made it into the CM12 you are compiling?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dastin1015:
Yes they have
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kjricker:
Great. I look forward to giving it a go and providing you feedback.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aaa12585:
What a coincidence, I just decided to check this place out again before I gave up on the device for good.

Glad to see you're still around, Dastin! :good: Keep being awesome. Will test out a build when I can and provide feedback!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttakacs:
Dastin, I repartitioned internal storage using Lanchon's scripts and Kjricker's instructions (here: http://xdaforums.com/epic-4g-touch/help/heimdall-connection-issues-t3009947). For others who will be testing CM12, would you recommend doing the same?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dirtyhewr:
lol been watching this thread waiting for this post... awesome work brother., can't wait to test:

I tried recording video today with Google Camera and it freezes. Then I can no longer connect to the camera. I have to reboot/soft reboot to access the camera again. The camera app that came with CM11 works fine though. I installed the Google camera because I use the photosphere and this in not in the default camera app. Anyone else seen this issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dirtyhewr:
yup ... thought the trim kernel fixed it but it stated again... then i found this camera so and it works perfectly... even at 1080hd video

https://www.dropbox.com/s/02m7cqbf1...CM_All_AOSP_roms_by_RohanAJoshi_V5.0.zip?dl=0

try it... it's a great app... also here is a restart camera app so you don't have to reboot on that camera error

https://www.dropbox.com/s/eczwcc4006hlebu/Restart Camera_v1.apk?dl=0

this is the only camera app i found that works all the time... always had a problem on this device... although it doesn't have photoshere... just panorama... try reducing the resolution... that helped mine work sometimes on the stock camera... could only record video in 480

Running CM11 nightly/trim enabled

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kjricker:
Thank you. Is that not just the regular camera in that zip? My regular camera works fine. It is the Google Camera that has issues. I ran across the restart app. The restart camera app is useless to me though. It doesn't fix the fact that the Google Camera freezes when recording video.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dirtyhewr:
yea Google camera does that to me too... the stock app only freezes on me on hd video... it's not the same camera in the zip... i dunno whats up with it all lol... i use my camera a lot when I'm with my daughter so i was just happy to have video working lol...

the restart won't fix the crash, but it did restart the app so i didn't have to reboot to fix the camera error tho... at least for me...

sorry couldn't help more.. I'm actively searching for a permanent fix too, so if i find anything more I'll let u know!

Sorry been very busy and just got around to updating this. So far so good. I changed over to your latest nightly for CM11. Thanks for the quick response and all of your hard work on the Trim kernel.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xxfirefurryxx:
Any kind of ETA you could give us on it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dastin1015:
No. I don't give ETA's
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Thanks very much. Take your time. You're basically the main reason I don't go out and buy an iPhone! hahaha but seriously stay awesome.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dastin1015:
Appreciate the thanks!

I personally don't give ETA's because then people expect me to make that date and if I don't I'll get flack about it, or I'd rush the job to meet the ETA, which I hate cause then I'd be releasing sloppy work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xxfirefurryxx:
I agree. Take your time and perfect it. I'll make sure to use it when it comes out, and report any bugs I find.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
I know what its like. Just the fact that this device is on your mind is actually pretty awesome. Take care and Happy Chinese new year everyone!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] theclarkster:
Dastin, you are awesome! Good to know there are still a few of us still hanging around here. Your work is amazing, and I'm rooting for you on the CM12 adventures. Keep up the good work!

So is the stock messaging app now unsupported? I just tried the 2/22 nightly and stock messaging app is still not working.

Also, is cm11 still on for a m13?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttakacs:
AFAIK, 4g works only with CM11. Is there a way to flash a 4g fix to a non-CM11 ROM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dilinger1111:
Questions I'd love to know the answer to as well.

Not that I wouldn't jump to CM12 instantly if it was stable for d710.. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperGoober:
cm12

Anyone heard whether or not Dastin ever got cm12 to boot on the epic or anything related to status ? Not trying to rush , just curious how it's coming along . thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Not yet I don't think ~^•^
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Xruptor:
Any updates on the CM12 version? Haven't heard anything in awhile. Is the project still being worked on? Last I read there was a version that was actually compiling and experimental and ready to be tested once released by Dastin.

Reboot recovery from the power menu is working again in latest nightlies. Didn't see any commits added for our device tree so I guess it was a cm bug. If it was one of our devs though, thanks for fixing that!

Sorry I've been MIA for so long guys. Life got the better of me. I've changed jobs recently where I'm being promoted to management and I'm in the process of enlistment.

Will try to work on CM12.1 once finals are done.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Internet:
Dude, you are awesome! Interested in seeing how this runs on this old beast. 5.0 ran like garbage on my devices, but on 5.1.x my devices have run better than they ever have. Thanks again and good luck with your finals.

Good luck with finals dude ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
It's been a while since I've had an E4GT in my possession but I'd love to see CM12.1 bring some new life back to the community and the users that may remain. I'd probably have to pick another one up since they are so cheap just to try it for myself.

System partition

Is anyone else running out of space on the system partition? Currently on 20150330 nightly, ready to flash 20150510.

Right now I have 26.9MB free, out of 528MB in system partition. More and more apps are now complaining "Insufficient space on the device" during Play Store updates.

Yet I have 221MB out of 2.11GB free on the data (internal) partition for apps.

I did wipe cache and dalvik in recovery, but didn't help.

Any suggestions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kvevand63:
Hard to determine with the info you provided. Which Gapps are you using? Have you tried moving some of your system apps to data? Search Google for which pre-installed apks are safe to remove. Any audio mods installed? They can take up system space. Regarding Gapps, have you tried a smaller package? Lot of ways to free up space. But before you try all the above, sign out of Google from settings. Clear cache and data from Play store and Google Framework. Reboot. Sign back in to Google. This method has worked for me in the past. Good luck!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lanchon:
200MB free in /data is way too low. u want 500MB free there. free up space or repartition your phone. this is not a repartitioning thread, so google.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HulkSmashBurgers:
In my experience, 275-300MB has usually been enough to avoid insufficient space errors. I keep 350MB free in case a really large app has a problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lanchon:
write amplification soars and the emmc slows down to a crawl. you really need more space. and a trim kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kjricker:
I got tired of this issue and finally decided to re-partition the phone. Works great now and I have never had any space issues since. See my thread on this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kozmo2k4:
This is my back-up, WiFi only phone, so I dumped a bunch apps I didn't use regularly, and moved a few ro SD. Gained over 500MB free space and all IS good.

Will have a look at the repartirioning.

Thank you all for the tips.

apps in sd is not good for performance or stability. look into repartitioning and adding a trim capable kernel.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dastin1015:
Here is a test link for you guys. Doesn't boot, but feel free to play with it and figure something out. Needing a larger system partition for install is a possibility of why it isn't booting.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dudebowski:
I think anyone who's still working with this platform by now is probably ready to forego the ability to install touchwiz ROM , which is a prerequisite for using [MENTION=4141005]Lanchon[/MENTION] re partitioning pit files. Can't remember what thread they're in, but he basically minimized the preload and stuck the remainder into /system. Will that be enough room?

Also, will 12.1 kernel include the floating point bug fix?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lanchon:
i dont think i ever did PITs for this device, only the i9100. but you can roll your own with PIT Magic. suggest you download my partitioning scripts and file for the i9100 as a basis for your work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kvevand63:
You are right, it does not boot past the SGS2 splash screen. Reboots back into recovery, however it is CM recovery and unable to nandroid restore or flash ROM, as signature verification fails. Had to one-click Odin to install Agats recovery, flash Lanchons kernel for recovery to restore nandroid. Do appreciate your continued support and efforts for the D710. If it was not for you, we would not have CM11 on our device. Will continue experimenting with CM12.1 zip. Thank you Dastin1015, you are the best!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dastin1015:
The d710 community is what keeps me going. You guys rock and have been the most supportive and helpful community I've worked with next to the CDMA HTC Hero and I've worked with roughly 8 or so devices.

CM Wallpaper

Hi , I have 3 of these phones and one of them stubbornly refuses to let me unlock the CM wallpaper under themes , I've clean flashed it at least half a dozen times trying to find a way to change the background . Does anyone know a trick to unlock the cm wallpaper ? I can take the checkmark out of the lock wallpaper but it keeps rechecking itself I can change the wallpaper as long as it's a cmwallpaper but I want to use other themes and they can't install their paper because CM has it locked . Is there an edit in the buildprop perhaps ? thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
That's weird have you tried changing launchers? I use nova launcher but trebuchet doesn't do that to me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperGoober:
Yup , have tried other launchers . I can change style and stuff , just not the wallpaper . I can even change the lock screen paper` . Bear in mind if I were dirty flashing over a different rom or old rom with a different paper it's fine .It will boot onto whatever paper was already there . Then can also change it with no problem . But doing a clean flash is where I run into this .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteWidows:
Is there anyway I can activate on freedompop with this rom? Seems like the imei is not being read so the messaging app defaults to a trial

---------- Post added at 08:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ----------

Isn't there a tutorial on how to do that? I think the important bit is to do it from stock and then flash back
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteWidows:
I'm not sure I haven't found a definitive tutorial how to do that. I went from stock to cm11 but the app read the imei which is not being read. If you know where a tutorial is lmk I've searched.

Kernal

Anyone managed to add high performance to any of the latest trim kernal with the bugfix that can be tweaked and overclocked ? If not maybe Lanchon would offer a modified build if that's possible if there was enough show of interest on our parts . If your interested in such a beast please join in with your comments and he might consider throwing one out for us . I'm talking about the extreme kernal like in Vanir and LS except modified with the trim/bugfix added in that we could flash as an alternative to the stock kernal . Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IamFlynn:
You're doing things right :good:! No need to panic. The first time I rebooted after installing kitkat I too was greeted with a hang at the samsung logo screen. Just be patient. The rom needs time to settle in after just flashing and messing around with things.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frankx85:
It never boots. I had to load my recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
Did you wipe /system along with factory reset in recovery when you flashed? Do that if you didn't. And a factory reset AFTER flashing the ROM used to help other users on earlier KK builds

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HulkSmashBurgers:
Enabled ART, rebooted to recovery and cleared cache and dalvik. On boot, it optimized 228 apps. When it finished, I got constant popups of things crashing. Rebooted, and it optimized again, this time 74 apps. Still everything crashed.

Wiped system, reflashed rom and gapps, wiped dalvik and cache. Booted. Everything is good again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HulkSmashBurgers:
Loving this ROM. Only been using it for about 12 hours so far, but it's the first time I've gotten a ROM to be usable for me. Restored 120+ apps with TB and seems to have caused no problems.

The LED charging light is weird. When I charged for the first time, the light was pink. I've never seen it that color before. Then the next couple times I put it on the charger the light was red. Now it is always blue.

It's nice that there is an option to change the LED color for messages and voicemail (which I haven't used, not sure if they work correctly), but the inconsistent charging color I think makes the LED unreliable when the phone is charging.

edit: anyone know how to get Visual Voicemail working? I took the vvm.apk from the stock Virgin JB rom and installed it. App loaded, but didn't look like it was going to do anything, so I tried converting it to a system app. TB just sat there forever working on it, so I rebooted. Now it shows in TB simply as coremobility.app.vnotes with no way to uninstall it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AndyYan:
Try not using TB. Throw the APK into /system/app, set rw-r--r-- and reboot. Clearing cache and dalvik is optional but suggested, since you've installed it as a user app.

Double-Tap to Sleep has worked for me in Mokee, Villuminati, and in the Aug. 19 CM11 nightly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rseiler:
Can you describe precisely where you're tapping?

Pink means that you're under 15%. It did that before CM11.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dastin1015:
That's correct. Under 15% is pink, 30%-90% red and 90%+ is blue I believe.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HulkSmashBurgers:
Everything has seemed bug free for me until today when I tried to place my first phone call on CM11. It just sat there at dialing. When I hung up, the dialer froze. After a reboot, I was able to place the call and they said they had tried calling me 15 minutes before. The call rang for them as if my phone was in service, but I received no missed call notification.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttakacs:
In the center of the status bar. Not on any of the icons up there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drk65:
Ironically, the only way I can get the Double-Tap to work is when I'm on the (Pattern) Lock Screen. I say "ironically", because that is the only scenario where I do NOT need this feature to work!

When I'm on a normal screen (Home or In-App), all that happens when I Double-Tap the the mid-Notification area is that that Notification "Window Shade" begins to come down/open. I wonder if there is a setting somewhere that would prevent the shade from starting to come down on the first tap... which I believe is what's causing the problem. (It works on the locked screen, because this is no Notification drop-down action.

On my phone, Notification Drawer > Quick Settings panel > Quick pulldown = Left edge of the status bar pulls down Quick Settings. Try that setting or set it to Off.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rseiler:
When that didn't work, I just kept obsessively tapping the area--and it eventually worked! On subsequent tries, I got it down to fewer taps, sometimes even two, which was weird. Swing Copters is harder to play, but not by much.

The biggest surprise is when after it first turned off, I found that one of the volume keys worked to turn it back on. That option has never worked for me when not plugged in (and I wasn't plugged in). Thinking that I was losing my mind, I then tried it again. It still worked. But it hasn't since. No idea what's going on there, but that feature seems closer to working than before.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IamFlynn:
MMS is definitely working for me, send and receive.

What's not working for me is USB to PC. When I try to connect my phone to my PC, I get an error saying my USB device has malfunctioned(The phone isn't working). I've tried different Pc's and USB cables all with no luck.

Can anyone help?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drk65:
Thanks very much for the suggestions and feedback. I too tried the "Obsessive Method" with poor results. I think I got it to work once... maybe!

I can tell you that using the physical Volume Buttons as a Power Button replacement does work pretty reliably for me. I use that in conjunction with a great app called "Gravity Screen" that automates Screen On/Off functionality using a combination of Gyro and Proximity Sensors (BTW... I've had zero success with the Proximity option built into this ROM).

What would really solve my issues totally is if someone knew the system/file location of the "Go To Sleep" function that resides in the Quick Ribbon and Controls. If I knew that location, I could assign a Nova Launcher "Activities" shortcut to it and be done!
