Easy to remove yourself and easy to add apk yourself....
[Epic 4G Android Development] aliendude5300:
Yeah, it was, but I think it should be like that by default.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dalvarez7:
Some other folks were having this issue on other ROM's too. I wonder if its just something with the latest 1.5 update from Pandora?
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
Noobnl, will there be any updates to this ROM, or are you going to be working full time on the CM port? :) Just curious, thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cicada:
Pandora 1.5 started sending extra 'analytics' info, including the firmware identifier, but didn't escape the strings in their new code.

There's an easy workaround to get it working again, you'll need ADB for this.

*This is potentially dangerous! Do not change anything else in the build.prop file!*

I am *NOT* responsible if your phone doesn't boot after this, always nandroid before making system changes!

1) Remount the filesystem read-write

#> adb shell remount rw

2) Grab the build.prop from /system

#> adb pull /system/build.prop build.prop

3) Edit the build.prop file using your favorite editor. Change *only* the line:

ro.build.version.release=noobnl Andromeda Galaxy ROM v1.0.3

to be (replacing the spaces with underscores):

ro.build.version.release=noobnl_Andromeda_Galaxy_ROM_v1.0.3

4) Push the edited build.prop back to your phone:

adb push build.prop /system/build.prop

Reboot, and Pandora should work like a charm.
[Epic 4G Android Development] aliendude5300:
It's caused by the space character being in the URL. This is a direct result of the Andromeda ROM somehow.
[Epic 4G Android Development] aliendude5300:
Thanks for that! It should be this way by default... :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] cicada:
Really, the spaces in the firmware name are completely valid, it's Pandora who didn't escape their strings properly. Little Bobby Tables is going to bite them in the ass someday ;)

http://xkcd.com/327/
[Epic 4G Android Development] kelmar13:
Great job noobnl!

Do you plan on updating this ROM as the latest/greatest updates (DI18, etc) become available? *Not trying to rush, just asking to make sure*
[Epic 4G Android Development] vavaud:
try the ROM, everything looked great but market app was not working or worked but then it would fail. i'll keep my eye on the ROM for later updates :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] noobnl:
yup i plan on doing that!
[Epic 4G Android Development] CJNYC:
Thanks noobnl! This ROM is working great.
[Epic 4G Android Development] The Tick077:
Thanks for all the hard work! Android noob and did everything one click and couldn't have gone any smoother! Hope to see the new firmware up soon. Once again thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] aliendude5300:
Now that DI18 is out with fixed 3G upload speeds, can we expect a new update based on the new firmware? :D Also, do you plan on replacing those spaces with underscores by default? I know the bug is Pandora's fault, but I'd like as much compatibility as possible...
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
Does the TV out function work in this ROM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] cicada:
If it did, it'd be in the feature list, and this thread would be crazy active.

In short, no, TV-out doesn't work in any available ROM yet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
Noobnl. I appologize for the repost. I should have asked you diirectly. Does you ROM have TV out? All of the Galaxy S version have this but Sprint seems to have disabled the funtion after a couple updates. No one knows why.

Do you know if Tayutama Edition v1.1 works on the Epic properly and has TV out? Sorry if you don't know...just ignore me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
Right with you. Where is the TV out funtion?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
Ok. Fair enough. But didn't the TV out function exist in the early build from Sprint? Can we put other standard Galaxy i9000 ROMs on the Epic safely that do have the TV function out? Sorry..new to the Epic. Had G1 until yesterday.
[Epic 4G Android Development] badwolf:
has anyone flashed one of the di18 updates over this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
I want to know this too. Should i just test it? Will it decrease performance or will it be fine? I wonder if noobnl will have an update for this new update.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
It appears that flashing DI18 over Andromeda ROM will break your Bluetooth. Best to just wait for an update from noobnl.
[Epic 4G Android Development] badwolf:
the push wouldnt work and kept saying permission denied.... i did get it work with root explorer.

also the adb remount rw seemed to fail
[Epic 4G Android Development] noobnl:
updated!..
[Epic 4G Android Development] jblparisi:
So it is just a matter of applying the new ROM over a stock rooted DI18 ?

Will give it a shot :)

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] stayfitted:
I have been waiting on this all day...thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:

[Epic 4G Android Development] badwolf:
was running 1.03. flashed DI18 update for non-stock files/kernels - *now with deodexed ROM!* and the v1.1.0 and when i hit end call i get force close....

com.android.phone has stopped
[Epic 4G Android Development] tokyomonster:
i can verify this after following the same procedure

[Epic 4G Android Development] CJNYC:
I can confirm these force close issues as well. Nonetheless, thanks for the work noobnl!
[Epic 4G Android Development] tokyomonster:
For now, I restored to the nandroid I made before any upgrades, then ran the DI18 update for non-stock files. It's running great, other than the fact that I'm still getting a message to install the legit DI18
[Epic 4G Android Development] raiderep:
The same thing happened on his first rom and he fixed it so just give him time, he needs sleep too! O.o

[Epic 4G Android Development] badwolf:
i have since restored SPH-D700-DI07-8Gb-REL.tar and flashed update-SPH-D700_DI07ToDI18.zip ater root and clockwork. about to backup and then do 1.1 rom....
[Epic 4G Android Development] stayfitted:
Same here....what if we can push the phone apk? I wonder if that could be a fix...
[Epic 4G Android Development] rmartinez2:
I have a suspicion it may be the kernal. I flashed his latest kernal that's included int his rom on another rom I'm using and I have the same force close after ending a call. I used mixup kernal (its old doesn't have di18) and I don't get force close
[Epic 4G Android Development] badwolf:
Tried to add back 1.1.o ontop of working stock and still force close. Resotred back
[Epic 4G Android Development] ragnarokx:
Is it possble to add voodoo to this kernel? If so, how would I go about it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] noobnl:
fixing that as we speak
[Epic 4G Android Development] CJNYC:
Thanks noobnl!
[Epic 4G Android Development] stayfitted:
Looks like you just posted 1.11 Lets try it out!

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] baconjuice:
So I'm new too all this. I want to flash Andromeda and I just want to make sure I got the order right.

1)Root - I used the one.click.root.exploitv2.2.5

2)Clockwork

3) Andromeda

I have the DI18 install and I have an Epic 4g.

I tried today, but couldn't get into clockwork recovery mode. I believe the root took. I have an app for su and it show recovery mod in it. More than likely I'll do Odin and start again fresh tomorrow

[Epic 4G Android Development] SladeNoctis:
Thanks for the download.
[Epic 4G Android Development] aliendude5300:
Apparently 1.1.1 breaks Pandora again, if you've already fixed it. Here's how to fix it, as originally written by cicada (modified for 1.1.1, of course):

1) Remount the filesystem read-write

#> adb shell remount rw

2) Grab the build.prop from /system

#> adb pull /system/build.prop build.prop

3) Edit the build.prop file using your favorite editor. Change *only* the line:

ro.build.version.release=noobnl Andromeda Galaxy ROM v1.1.1

to be (replacing the spaces with underscores):

ro.build.version.release=noobnl_Andromeda_Galaxy_ROM_v1.1.1

4) Push the edited build.prop back to your phone:

adb push build.prop /system/build.prop

5) Reboot your phone:

adb reboot
[Epic 4G Android Development] ahow628:
To get to recovery, you need to power down your phone then hold down the camera and volume down buttons. While holding them down go ahead and press and hold the power button down. Continue to hold all three till recovery comes up.

Hey noobnl --

Great job with all this stuff, I've been really impressed. But I'm having an issue with 1.1.1: when I set the phone down and let the display go to sleep, it becomes completely unresponsive after a few minutes. I upgraded from 1.0.2 with 1.3.4 kernel to DI18 for deodexed roms, then to 1.1.1. Any ideas??

Noobnl this version is still fc a lot of things for me. (tw calendar at boot, android process) also i have had an issue while i was on a call it made some weird noise for 5 sec then returned to the person talking. On first boot after flash it will play sound before sprint boot even starts. It's also not playing my notification tones and wont let me sometimes go into settings at all it freezes with a black screen then i just press home button to get back the homescreen. i have flashed this twice and both times i wiped dalvik and cache.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cicada:
noobnl, if you release another revision, can we get this fix included? Just need to add underscores to your firmware name.

I had to fix it on the fly at a party last night after flashing 1.1.1 yesterday afternoon, this is why i love a hardware keyboard :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
What apps are force closing for u? Just want to know whether or not to update? Is pandora still force closing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] cicada:
Can those of you who know how / are willing to setup the android SDK post logcat output when you get FC's?

Saying you got an FC doesn't help diagnose the why you got an FC, the logcat info might actually help fix it.

Also, please use pastebin.org or the like to post your output so we can keep the thread clean.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cicada:
1.1.1a specifically addresses the Pandora issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
I see that, i was wondering what other apps people are having force closes so if i happen to have an app that force closes i can know so i can stick with my current rom.

[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:

[Epic 4G Android Development] cicada:
I haven't been able to dig up a good guide not aimed at developers unfortunately.

I don't have time atm to write up anything too comprehensive, but this is the general gist of it:

1) Download the SDK:

Windows: http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r07-windows.zip

Mac OS: http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r07-mac_x86.zip

Linux: http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r07-linux_x86.tgz

For more info on the SDK, including a better guide on actually using it, see http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

2) Unzip/untar/unpack it where you like.

3) Connect your phone with USB, make sure USB Debugging is turned on in Menu > Settings > Applications > Development

You may need the Galaxy S drivers from the first post in the One Click root guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=770388

4) Open a console and browse to the location where you extracted the SDK. cd to the 'tools' folder.

5) Run the following:

adb logcat > logcat_output.txt

6) On your phone try to reproduce the FC issue

7) Disconnect your phone from USB, and copy the contents of the logcat_output.txt file somewhere you can share them here. ( try http://pastebin.org if you can't simply attach the file here )
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
Ok. Fair enough. Which kernel are you using? And is this done with Odin and the .512 PIT file?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
I flash them with clockwork recovery mod. I am currently using the one that comes with this rom but i sometimes switch to both of the fluffkernals. I tried the overclock kernal it wasnt for me battery life was garbage plus wasnt as stable as these i use now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] CJNYC:
Huge battery life improvement

OK, I'm shocked. Flat-out floored. Today is my first day of normal use since the DI18 update and installing noobnl's latest and greatest ROM+kernel. I am sitting here at 14 hours since unplugging and I still have 63% battery life remaining. That implies 38 hours battery life, which crushes my old EVO and easily eclipses my old iPhone 3GS. While not a heavy day of usage, I did access the internet several times, reply to a number of emails, text a bit, download several aps, do many speed tests, and take two long calls. I'm now officially satisfied. Bring on FroYo, a bluetooth profile that supports address book upload, and better native Exchange support (using Touchdown now) and it will only be icing on the cake.
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
Great to hear. What was your battery life prior to the Andromeda rom and kernel?
[Epic 4G Android Development] CJNYC:
I didn't test DI18 without Andromeda, but the current set-up is at least 12 hours better than what I was achieving with Andromeda before DI18.
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
I'd say that bodes well for the future of our devices :).

Yeah I finally updated everything, Andromeda rom v1.1.1, kernal 1.4.0, and DI18 and I'm getting great battery life now. Probably 1.5 times better than with DI07 and the older noobnl rom. I'm at 45% right now after it was at 90% around 9 hours ago and I've been using it pretty heavily today.

I've been running 1.1.1a for a couple days and I like it a lot but I keep getting lockups that require a battery pull. They seem to be random, as in sometimes when I'm using the phone it just freezes and sometimes when I try to turn the screen on it just stays black. Anyone have this problem or have a fix? Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Havent had issues what so ever with data lock ups ever since i dumped the stock rom and kernal. I was getting black screens and sometimes lock up. But not with this rom or kernal as well as fluffkernals. :) This rom is my favorite out of all them. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mk4UmHa:
NoobNL,

Do you know when /bin/sdx.sh gets called? is it called once after install?

is the su executable a program that comes in the android SDK?

I also see that su gets removed from /bin and /sbin. So how does the "tmpfs /sdx" put the SU back in after phone power off?

And why does playlogo get replaced?

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] richse:
Su gets removed and replaced every reboot by the script. It basically just copies the jk-su to replace them. If the script didn't do that then you would lose root every reboot. The playlogo file is the hook that enables us to call the root script every reboot. If you open it you can see it just calls the script and then does the normal action of the original playlogo file.

If you are still getting fc's I strongly recommend flashing back to stock then applying di18 update then flashing rom. If you used the non stock update it will cause tons of issues. Also DO NOT DELETE THE 3 DRM APPS ON DI18 THEY WILL ALSO CAUSE FC'S
