Sorry the OP doesnt reflect the proper procedure right now to get an alternate LAUNCHER to install.

Its actually quite easy. Let the NON TW version boot INTO TW then thru market or whichever means you install your alternate launcher go ahead and do so. Set it as the DEFAULT launcher then uninstall TWlauncher Reboot and enjoy,

Right now this is the only method do to TW being so tightly coded into the rom.

I still haven't had any luck with Titanium backup and restore so use at your own risk.
[Epic 4G Android Development] siptang:
that's cool . Would it be ok if I uninstalled touchwiz 3 with all the samsung stuff using sdx app removal? Just wanted to ask prior to doing this because you said that it was closely weaved together.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
Uninstall both apps reboot then reinstall wifi tether no need for wired if you use pda
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
Have not heard of this one before. I would uninstall rom manager and the update.zip it leaves at the root of your sdcard. reboot. then reinstall rom manager. and do a new backup. Report back please

Adblock

Not sure I did this right. But I went to ADB shell and type su blockads, but when I launch Linpack, it still has ads in it. I'm sure it something stupid I did.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rmartinez2:
Well Im not gonna lie to you man, when I got those FCs i went back and did everything from scratch again and then just installed a backup of a rom that i had backed up that was a version of grimmey goods. But I did notice that this time that i had done it clockwokmod gave me some issues which it handnt in the past and i then noticed that after working through that i was actually able to boot into custom recovery from rom manager which the previous times i was unable to do. Anyway after doing so i chose NOT to try and flash the backup of the boss rom i had with everyhting already setup cuz that was the one that caused the FCs in the first place. But after your suggestion i decided to just try and restore that backup since technically i had already done what you said by previously starting from scratch. So this time it worked, maybe my rom manager wasnt configured correctly before and thats what caused the FCS I cant really say since I dont wanna F with it more tot he point that i do get fcs
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
Thanks, that did it! So trivial, appreciate all ur help rjmjr :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] byransays:
Im not having much luck, i installed using the method you recommended but im having issues with not sending/receiving mms, visual voicemail doesnt work/not getting voicemail but other then those 2 things this rom is flawless. is there anything i can do without wiping my phone again?
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
Well black screen still exists but after using Titanium Backup even though the post says not too... it could be the problem, or maybe because I flashed v.02 with touchwiz and voodoo, and then flashed the mixup kernel with voodoo also. I dunno, i'll play with it tommorow and see what i can figure out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] saywhat4118:
so let me get this straight, i have to flash the rom twice before booting into android desktop?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
NO!

After BOOTING into the rom wait a few minutes if you like log into market download rom manager install it or w.e boot into recovery and install the rom again.

Hope you enjoy the rom. Let me know if you have any other questions
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
You pretty much answered yourself. Forewarned that TB causes issues. If you discover a fix while playing around please share.

How does it run for you otherwise? Thanks for your feedback
[Epic 4G Android Development] saywhat4118:
Lol I already flashed it, then rebooted to recovery and flashed again before I read your post but it seems to be running just fine. Really fast and smooth no hiccups thus far.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
I would not uninstall to much from my understanding theres allot tied in but here is a a link to whats safe to remove according to the op and others

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=773142

I noticed not all ad's are blocked as well maybe the script needs a bit of updating will add to list thank you very much for the report.

Other than that what do you think so far?

Did you install the rom TWICE? Glad things are now working for you. Any requests?

Your welcome

MMS on 3g has been giving me a bit of grief not exactly sure its rom related just yet cause my evo does it to at times. But I can say turning on wifi allows downloads and uploads as well as 4G and 3G seems to send but not receive will investigate further thank you

VVM notifications are def not coming thru for me either. Added as well

Thanks keep checking back and let us know if you find anything else or need any help. Look forward to an update soon

AND DONT USE THE SAMSUNG CABLE BE WARNED IT DOES NOT WORK GET A BETTER CABLE
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
hehehe sorry for the late reply. But Very happy to hear your good to go! :D

It is very fast.

I will let you in on a little secret. I got sent this little zip file that has been AMAZING for my battery and even sweeter and snappier performance... Expect it to be added to the next release! :D

Ok please someone help I redownloaded wifi tether 205 pre 9 and it installs everythong just fine but it doesnt broadcast someone help
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
Did you uninstall any version you already had installed?

What errors are you getting? Did you get superuser to ask for permission?
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
Only had one other question, a bunch of apps I could not restore for some reason (things like Sprint Navigation, Mediahub, My files, more Sprint apps, etc.). I backed these up with Titanium before flashing this ROM, but can't seem to restore them. Seems like a trivial question, but any reason why I can't? They are all crossed out in Titanium and I don't get an option to restore even though I backed up all apps + data previously. Some of those things like Sprint Nav I actually used (albeit occassionally). Thanks.

EDIT: Ok so I guess the ROM removed all the Sprint bloatware ... but does that include stuff like Mediahub as well? And can I not install any of them back?

Also, I've been having probs with MMS like most of you, but I don't think it's the ROM ... I had some problems with MMS on stock rom / kernel as well. Like rjmjr said, switching between Wifi and 3g (4g if available in your area) generally fixes it, even if it's a PITA.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xusxmarinesx:
I unistalled it then reinstalled it and everything is fine it just doesn't broadcast the signal
[Epic 4G Android Development] byransays:
i think it might be rom related, i used a few other roms on this forums and no problem with mms (unless it was pure coincidence) but even putting wifi on i do not have any luck

and this area does not have 4g :(

EDIT:

i deleted messeging app and installed the modified one with more settings from here

maybe it is coincidence but now everything works as far as mms and texting.

but as for voicemail, i downloaded sprints VVM app and tried to delete the original before installing but i couldnt find it? could this be the reason voicemail isnt working?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nanncee:
I had this problem sense coming to this rom. I reinstalled a million different times to no avail. Until yesterday I gave superuser access to both. left both wired and wireless installed but cleared the data. Reinstalled wth the pre9 build, asked to replace the files, accepted. It installed, opened, didn't ask for SU, and it worked.

I don't know if it was luck that it worked, but it did, thought I would share to see if it works for someone else.

On a side note, with tether working now, this rom ROCKS! Super fast, great battery life. Thanks for your hard work guys!

[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
The only flaw I see right now is the no voicemail coming threw.

Now my wired tether keeps on forceclosing how do I fix that
[Epic 4G Android Development] r2hudson:
boss rom disables google calendar and calculator??

when i flash the no touch, voodoo version of this rom it disables the calendar and the calculator and i use those apps a lot :confused:. this also happened in the previous versions. those apps dont show up in my app drawer but when i look at the app files they are present. Also when i try to re-install those apps from .apk's that i found on xda they wont install. i love the rom, good work, but im sad i cant use it because i need those apps. so far those are the only apps i couldnt find. is this happening to anyone else? anyone got any solutions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Razor1973:
I had the strangest behavior on my Epic after flashing this ROM (V.2 No TouchWiz before the 9/28 force close fix) and activating the phone. In all honesty, the problem may not have to do with the ROM at all, but with the activation. I switch among my 3 Sprint phones (Epic 4G, Bold 9650, Prē) on a regular basis and I was using my Bold, then flashed this ROM on the Epic last night and then tried to activate it right away (via sprint.com/activate). The following happened.

I got voice working the second I turned on the phone after activating it. Data wasn't available, but it never is for the first 25-35 min after activation on any of my Sprint phones. However, 2 hours later, I still had no data. The funniest part is that if I enabled my 4G radio, I got 4G and could browse, but as soon as I deactivated 4G, I'd get the 3G icon (with a D on the bottom), but could not go to any site.

Yes, I cleared data and cache 3 times. Yes, I flashed this ROM twice. In fact, I did it a third time after I saw this behavior. No luck.

I was on the phone with Sprint for 1.5 hours and they tried all kinds of things, but none of them worked. I ended up activating and switching back to my Bold and that's the one I'm using today, but I am planning to give the Epic a try again tonight. Hopefully, I'll have more luck this time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
In regards to Titanium Back up is this an app issue or rom issue that it is either giving a black screen after restoring apps or that you cant restore period??
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
I was able to restore with tb with no problems
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
Ditto, no problems with the latest version of TB ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] zyklonbe:
I just installed "no touch - voodoo color" (bit.ly/V02v2) and ended up with touchwiz.

I was on AOSP, but followed the "clear both 3x" instructions. Do I need to be back to stock before applying this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Razor1973:
I believe (don't quote me on this) you get TouchWiz with both versions. The difference is the No Touch version allows you to uninstall it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] savior1974:
For the people with MMS issues. Download and install this Mms.apk (Thanks to krazyflipj for posting the link in post #168)

http://www.droid-life.com/2010/04/15/download-new-mms-apk-with-custom-settings/

This is what I did for my girlfriends Epic and it works great. It downloads the MMS message perfectly, ever with WIFI on.

(NOTE: Installing this will remove the Messaging shortcut from your Touchwiz dock, so if you wanna stick with touchwiz, you will have to deal with an empty space there. Once I noticed this, I installed LauncherPRO and setup the shortcuts the way I wanted.)
[Epic 4G Android Development] beavis4ever:
I installed that last night. I don't use touchwiz, so that isn't a issue for me. However I have noticed that on the unlock screen, it still shows messages when you have notifications but says 0. Also when you drag the unlock to the messages icon, it does not open to the mms app. Maybe if that app gets added to the rom, the unlock screen can be updated to make it work properly?
[Epic 4G Android Development] XtaC318:
Pandora force closes everytime I try opening it. Anyone else having this issue?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
Do you know if this is working with handcent sms also? Thx!
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
Yes I can confirm this. That sucks, I tried to uninstall, reboot, and reinstall, but same problem :( Anyway, it's not a major deal breaker and it should hold me over til the next ROM release.
[Epic 4G Android Development] apfrost:
Version 1.5 has the issue. If you revert to 1.4.1, it works fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
Awesome, thanks :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] phantomevo77:
Great Rom. Love it!!! However, I thought the boot animation and sound were supposed to be removed. The animation is, just not the sound. Black screen loading up with the boot sound. Yes i wiped data and caches 3 times and installed twice.
[Epic 4G Android Development] madvillainy:
open pandora once, force close it, then go into clockwork and wipe the cache partition again. this fixed it for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XtaC318:
Tried this with no success :\ I need the moosik! Lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
I gathered that second part from your username :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Razor1973:
Well, you know what? Exact same behavior even after flashing the 9/28 update and re-activating. And this is the same Epic I've successfully activated at least 5 times this month. Only after flashing this ROM did I lose my 3G signal. Before it, I had noobnl's Andromeda Galaxy v1.0.3 ROM with FluffKernel 1.0.2B.

Anybody else with 3G radio problems? Read post above for details.

UPDATE: I gave up, so I reflashed my previous kernel and ROM and my 3G radio started working again. There is something wrong with either the MixUp kernel of this ROM. Just saying.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kab0b0:
This worked like a charm. Unfortunately the LED colors don't change :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] xadonxander:
even after manual download and installing wireless tether it will not work. It does not FC but now tells me, Unable to start tethering. please try again.

UPDATE: I kept playing with it. removed it and reinstalled a couple of times, restarted a few times and wireless tether started to work. I have no idea what I did to make it work but I'm glad it does.

[Epic 4G Android Development] phantomevo77:
Is anyone else having the phone lock up and make you do a battery pull?? I think its the kernel because I had Mixups kernel before this rom and it happened there too. I'm hoping I'm not the only one having this issue :\
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
Nop, never had any lockups yet. ROM is pretty stable here minus a few minor issues like Fring not working, MMS not coming through, etc.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
Yea my phone locks up every once in awhile. It is do to the mixup kernal cause like you said it had done it on other roms while running the kernal

Ok I'm fairly new at flashing roms so I need a little help. I just rooted my epic with the 1 click method and I know it's rooted cause I can download and use ROM manager. I did a backup of my stock rom and put this boss rom on my sd card and when I try to flash to it I get a error saying

e:failed to verify whole-file signature

Wireless tethering isn't working for me either. I saw a post somewhere on how to fix it, but now I can't find it u.u

The initial version force closes imeediately, and pre8 says "unable to start."

Just flashed the ROM today, looks fantastic so far. I need battery! Thanks for all your hard work guys, looking forward to using this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] phantomevo77:
Just flashed noobnl's kernel with this rom and I no longer have the lock up issue where I had to battery pull.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Moguledyouth:
If you get the sdx-remover app to remove system files, locate both wired and wireless tether and hit the backup button, then delete them. Reboot and then browse to the sdcard folder where SDX-Remover stores the backups and install like normal apk's. that fixed the FC's for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
I wiped all the catches in clockwork and that cleared my lock up issue so far

One thing I don't get about Android is the lack of instructions and poorly organized community. I am coming from a Palm Pre.

How exactly do I even flash this? There is basically no instructions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
I read this and couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic or not....I came from the Palm Pre as well and I had absolutely not trouble whatsoever finding the information I needed to get started with rooting and flashing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rmartinez2:
Are you rooted and have clockworkmod on ur phone. I'm completely new to android and have had no problems finding the information needed to root get custom recovery and flash roms using that custom recovery. So I guess that would be how u flash this. You download the .zip file then using clockworkmod u flash it from there. I know that's not detailed but I also know there's enough organized information perhaps not in this specific thread but definitely in this devellopment forum.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vavaud:
i have one question is there a way to stop the 'System Update Notice'?

I just root the phone then installed clockwork rom manager and that did not work. Did some more google to find out you need to change the kernel and all sorts f things to get clockwork working. I am pretty much giving up. Information is too disorganized and it is time consuming.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
LMAO there is instructions everywhere. I had never had an android before this epic. I can add roms,root,cwm and do a bunch of tricks only because of this community. Next time dont criticize just ask your question and someone will answer you with EXACTLY what you are asking for. Just make sure you are specific. You need to have root and clock work recovery. Boot into clock work power + camera + volume down buttons on boot up. Then choose install .zip from sd card then choose this rom from your file list and install. Follow the devs specific Routine as he had mentioned in the op.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
I just use clockwork recovery to install roms. boot into cwm then select install .zip from sd card then choose this rom from your list of files.
