[Epic 4G Android Development] bigdbag:
After updating to your proposed, should the firmware version be Apophis_Beta_2.1-update1? Thanks, this rom is blazing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
Yes, that's correct.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Eazail70x7:
Yes, I still have Clockwork. I am currently back on Noobl's Rom (needed it to get the 3G/4G radio back.) Also I actually had the apps like fascinate music player (f/c on disc view though) and news and weather. But this was after I reflashed the custom update.zip through clockwork. After this, I ended up with no radio and then I was able to regain the radio back by flashing Noobl.

Please coach me through this. Should I have renamed the Rom "update.zip"? Thanks for any help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
No, renaming the ROM should not be necessary. As long as you still have recovery, you are not bricked. Bricked is when your phone will not boot into anything and you cannot access it via ADB.

The Andromeda ROM doesn't contain any radio as far as I know, so I'm a little confused.

If you were to reboot to recovery, wipe data, cache and flash this ROM it should boot just fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Eazail70x7:
I'll try it again. I'm actually redownloading the files as I type to insure I have a clean file. I used my phone to download it the first time and wonder if it somehow became corrupted...
[Epic 4G Android Development] id_twin:
I can verify the MMS not downloading properly -- Here in denver we do not have 4g, so this isn't something I can test. However, 3g, & wi-fi isn't downloading mms for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] urushiol:
Haven't tested the MMS issue, but I have doubled check that I am unable to update PRL, update data profile, or receive voice mail through the sprint VVM app using the proposed release build.

Other than those issues, this rom is bad ass, saves me time from removing all this apps I don't want/need, its fast, and has the coolest music player =)
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
I believe that either 'Sprint_App_Updater.apk' or 'SprintAndroidExtension.apk' is responsible for the things you've mentioned. Both of which have been pulled.

When you get a Sprint voicemail do you get the text message full of gobbledegook, or no notification at all? I've switched to Google Voice for voicemail handling and would suggest you look into it if you haven't already. Totally owns the sprint VVM service. :)

http://www.google.com/voice/sprint
[Epic 4G Android Development] urushiol:
ah! I will push them back, and see what happens!
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
Let me know what results you get. I removed them in an effort to not allow Sprint to sneak by a firmware update.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Eazail70x7:
Wait a minute, will I be able to receive voice mails through my visual vocie mail with this Rom? I need this ability...?
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
You should. If I understand it correctly, Sprint sends an SMS message to your phone and a service that constantly runs on the phone should filter those into the VVM notification.

I just noticed that that service is not running on this release. It might be due to the removal of one of the two APKs mentioned above. Push them back, reboot and see if the VVM service is running.

I'll try it right now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] urushiol:
It is only necessary to push back the "SprintAndroidExtension.apk" for VVM to work, testing PRL/profile updates now!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jblparisi:
How would i go about adding back the click on icon sounds? I actually miss those :)

Any plans for porting Touch Wiz 3.0 ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
Thank you for confirming that. That's what I want to see with this ROM. TEAMWORK.

Let me know if PRL/Profile works.
[Epic 4G Android Development] urushiol:
adding SprintAndroidExtension.apk back also allows PRL/profile updates to function! yay. -=)
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
Sweet. I'm adding that APK back to the official tree and it will be included in next build. No sense in excluding a 9kb file. haha

EDIT: In fact, I'm going to go ahead and upload a corrected build. Thanks again for the heads up on this one guys. It should be live in about 10 to 15 mins.
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
It's up now.

Can you guys check to see if that also fixed MMS? I think it may have. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] urushiol:
I didn't reflash; assuming the only change in the new upload is the SprintAndroidExtension.apk was added back, then MMS over mobile network does send and receive/download fine.

Am able to send MMS over wifi, but unable to download(not sure if that even works on stock rom, never tried it).
[Epic 4G Android Development] Eazail70x7:
Sigh... I knew this was going to happen. I tried to adb push the the apps back into the system/apps and it gives me errors. Everything seemed to work at first. I first typed adb devices to make sure my device is attached and it was. I then proceeded to follow the steps posted on page 5 for adb pushing these apps back. Here is my progress:

I typed adb shell and then a "#" appeared. Then I pasted in the "mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /devblock/st19 /system" command and it appeared to work (didn't get any error messages). Then comes the step that fails t work, adb pushing. I tried typing "adb push" and got "not found". I also typed in "adb push c:\"pathfile"\yourLWP.apk /system/app" and got the "not found" error.

What am I doing wrong now? I've tried various commands and youtubed other ways to adb push and nothing works thus far. How do I push these apps? I have them in my tools folder and everything. What can I do? Please teach me?
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
You need to make sure that this 'c:\"pathfile"\yourLWP.apk' is actually the path to the file. (IE C:\Documents and Settings\illogic6\Desktop\com.google.android.apps.googlevoice.apk - which would be the path to a google voice apk sitting on my desktop right now)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Eazail70x7:
I did that. I substituted file path work my actual file path. For the wallpaper I typed in "TATLivewallpapersDandelion.apk
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
I'll teach you a trick. If you're using windows you can just drag and drop the file on the command window and it'll automatically populate the path. Hopefully that'll help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jblparisi:
How would i go about adding the stock click sound back?

Thanks.:)
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
Extract the OGG in this zip and push it to /system/media/audio/ui/
[Epic 4G Android Development] jblparisi:
Awesome, thank you : )
[Epic 4G Android Development] Eazail70x7:
That's a neat trick. I just tried it but unfortunately I still got the "not found" :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
File not found or device not found?

As far as TouchWiz 3 goes: I think it's pretty slick, but it's just not stable/speedy enough to be included in this ROM in my opinion.

EDIT: Now once we have Froyo, TouchWiz 3 will be in for sure.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jblparisi:
Strange, for some reason i still can't update Profile/PRL.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Eazail70x7:
I'm not sure. It says this:

adb: not found
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
I just tried it again with a fresh flash. It didn't work for me the first time... it just hung at the updating dialog box. I rebooted and tried again. As soon as I hit 'Update PRL' the data connection dropped, the updating box came up for about 10 seconds and I got a success. Try that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
That looks like ADB isn't even in your path. Type just ADB into the command window and hit enter. If it doesn't look like my attached screen grab, you need to install the Android SDK properly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] youngpro83:
I installed this ROM and for some reason it wont update prl or profile. Maybe something was removed that shouldnt have been?? :confused: Not sure, but if it gets fixed, I might actually use this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] churro7:
hows the battery life?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rquinn19:
Hate to sound needy and usually never request things on someone's custom rom, but could you either include the apk to get things working in the first post or a zip that can be installed via recovery? Downloading that whole removed apps zip seems ridiculous for something that small. And a update.zip file to fix the problem would be nice for the people all running this before you fixed the small error.

Thanks. (only rquests/suggestions) keep up the good work
[Epic 4G Android Development] faheem5:
Question about APK

been using the ROM for 2 days now.. LOVING IT!!

question.. does this ROM include the latest update of market 2.2 and maps?
[Epic 4G Android Development] id_twin:
For those of you worried about voicemail, and do not wish to use google's service. Download 'youmail' from market, I've used it for a while now, and believe its better than the stock vvm. Can also verify it works on this rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Eazail70x7:
Yes, my screen looks like that when I type adb. I also typed in adb reboot and it actually worked, it rebooted my phone. Any more ideas? This is why I hate adb, I've never had any sucess :(

Can I push the app using connect bot? If so how? Is something missing from my tools folder? I need voicemail...
[Epic 4G Android Development] cfiblc:
I absolutely LOVE Youmail. I fly for a living and I love that it notifies me of missed calls when my phone is off. I highly recommend it!
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
I don't even have to post a 'removed' link at all. I do it to try to make things more convenient. You can open up the other ROMs I'm sure you have downloaded with WinRAR and pull APKs from there also. If that's too much trouble, then use another ROM.

As far as all the issues with ADB: Don't get me wrong. I love all of you guys, but this is most certainly not an ADB tutorial thread. There are tons of those here. This is a ROM thread. Read around and learn on your own like I did.
[Epic 4G Android Development] youngpro83:
Does anyone know if change bootscreen animation will work with this ROM??
[Epic 4G Android Development] rquinn19:
Thanks @$$ I try to ask or suggest a simple thing and compliment you and you respond like that! What makes you think I've downloaded other roms? and if i did that i kept them? Besides using the stock rom rooted your rom is the only one i like. I'm sure some other people like me that was using your rom ended up having multiple voicemails they didn't know about because of the problem. No big deal but the customary thing to do is update the first post with bugs/fixes. I've been flashing roms (even cooked a couple that i made available) since the Apache and that's the way things was always done. I appreciate what you do but I don't appreciate the tone in your response.
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
If you were to look at the first post you will see a new version with this fix merged. It is clearly marked showing that VVM from the previous version has been fixed. (Diagram attached below for reference.)

This ROM is marked BETA for a reason. I don't know that all features are working, but we're damn close. If you flash this ROM and have a problem with it, I'll be happy to fix it. But the fact of the matter here is that this problem has already been addressed, a fix has been identified and merged into the complete build.

The APK you need to push to /system/app/ is attached.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Eazail70x7:
I didn't mean to nag about adb pushing but it has been so frustrating to try using it. It never worked for me on my Moment or Epic. Do you know were I can find an epic 4g specific tutorial for adb pusing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SladeNoctis:
I was wondering if does the firmware number change when you post a new rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] smoothone:
Dude just get Root Explorer and make life easy for yourself if your having trouble using the adb commands. With root explorer you can just drop your apk's in /system/app. After you mount it rw of course!
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
A round of applause for this man, ladies and gentlemen! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] sdotk:
i believe your problem is that you are running adb from the su shell. Dont just run the adb push command from the C:\... , if you type adb shell -> su then the adb push you will get adb not found...i was getting that too till i found out wtf i was doing wrong :) hope that helps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Eazail70x7:
Actully, root explorer is what I used all the time on my Moment and it worked great. I would use it now if it worked but it does not work on the epic. At least on the rom and kernel I'm running now.

The

R/o button at the top doesn't even work, I press it and nothing happens. On the Moment, it toggled between r/w and r/o. I even tried pasting the apk in the system/app anyway but it dint work. If it helps any, I'm still on version 2.9.2 of root explorer. Could that be an issue?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Eazail70x7:
Thanks for the tip. Not sure if I typed su or not though. But I want to ask if you were trying to install an app through adb on the epic, what are the command lines you would use?
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
That sounds like a problem. I'm using the most recent Root Explorer update and that button functions as it should.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jblparisi:
I love this ROM, great job! : )
[Epic 4G Android Development] popper668:
all is fine as could be. i await all updates. but i too love this ROM, thanks for the support.:)
[Epic 4G Android Development] lviv73:
I see that 7zip is workin out nice for you.Did you try removing languages and extra fonts?Im sure that these roms can be slimed to 70-80mb like cyanogen ones,by diggin deeper than just removing apk's and ringtones.In my iphone days I use to slim ios by removing lproj language files but coulnt find language files on android,if found and deleted that would free up at least 10mb.

Update,i see that you aready removed languges and fonts,removing them only freed up 3-4mb's thats it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
Yeah, there's one "fallback" font file in /system/fonts/ that seems to be responsible for all the other languages. It's only about 4mb which is a little weird.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mekishiko:
Awesome music taste! haha, cool you got my Record store photo on your phone (Endtroducing) One of my best friends owns that place and I worked there for a while.

He moved it because of city renovation crap though :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
Haha.. thanks man.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tokyomonster:
I echo his sentiment. Viktor Vaughn in the house ;)

I'm guessing I'd have to wipe If I want to come from noobnl's andromeda, right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilxflip:
Can I install this using rom manager?
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
If you can, I don't know about it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rsage:
music player only

Hey guys, this ROM looks great. For now I just want to try the Fascinate music player. Is it possible to just extract MusicPlayer.apk from this ROM and ADB push it to /system/app/? Are there any supporting files that need to be pushed along with it (like libdiscjni.so)?

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
Just those two and you should be good. Make sure libdiscjni.so goes to /system/lib/
[Epic 4G Android Development] kab0b0:
fixed lockscreen

Hey, guys! I editted the framework-res for the lockscreen so the clock will be at the bottom (no longer obscured by the music player pulldown).

If anyone wants to grab it, it's here http://www.mediafire.com/?rj35lst323ybo89

Of course just push it to /system/framework and I'm not responsible if your phone starts bleeding mercury and screaming like a witch.

In my haste it seems you cant use the quick notification thing with this build. Will take a look to see if I can fix it (probably not).
[Epic 4G Android Development] Eazail70x7:
I'm personally waiting for the Fascinate lock screen. That is the best one I've ever used I think. Its very easy to unlock it with that lock screen and it also looks good.
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
I started to work on that the other day and gave up knee deep in smali. Will give it a crack again later, but it doesn't look real promising.

Cool stuff, man. Gonna try it out now.

EDIT: That definitely puts the time in a good place, but it made the lockscreen act funny. I'm not sure if it's related, but after I rebooted my pure calendar widget stopped working right too. Gonna look at what you changed. Unrelated. I guess pushing this will sign you out of Google.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kab0b0:
Yeah, I noticed that it messed up the swipe functions on the lockscreen. I'll take a look but for right now I'm working on getting the fascinate screen ported (no promises)
[Epic 4G Android Development] 3BeersKen:
Thanks for the great work ... can't wait to get this tomorrow and give it a try!
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
Glad someone else is taking a look into that. Waaay over my head. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] rsage:
Worked like a charm, thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] kab0b0:
Don't get your hopes up. lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 3BeersKen:
I just loaded the 1.0 version and notice that the Firmware version is still listed as Apophis_Beta_2.1-update1.

Other than that seems to be running pretty smooth with the new Phoenix Kernel 1.4 and my favorite theme "ANDRODENA_GALASSIA Epic Port".

Keep up the great work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
Yeah, I forgot to edit the build.prop on last push. Will get fixed next push.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Skorpion56:
Just flashed with no issues...

Thank you for a fab rom. Im using Mixup as you suggested and ive seen no instability. I am, however only getting about 6.5 mflops and ive added nothing and thats with nothing running in the back. Any thoughts if i did anything wrong..? thanks again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
I am unsure what could be causing that. Check and see what services are running in the background if any. Also if you're using SetCPU or Overclock Widget, make sure you're settings aren't messed up. Sometimes mine will change randomly.

In all honesty though, benchmarks are very overrated in the Android community. If the phone feels more stable and useable, who cares what linpack says?

EDIT: I have all kinds of crap installed and I got 9.55 mflops on the very first run. FYI
[Epic 4G Android Development] ballestplaya:
Nice rom, runs fast and smooth.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rsage:
illogic6

I flashed the bottom clock lockscreen mod from post #2, is there a flashable zip to go back to top clock? If not I'm assuming it's ok to extract framework-res.apk from the ROM and push to /system/framework/ (I'd rather not reflash the ROM)?

Edit: yes, this works
[Epic 4G Android Development] kab0b0:
Hey, again! Waiting until my weekend (Thurs + Fri) to really get kneedeep in the Fascinate lockscreen, but for now I fixed up my lockscreen replacement so it simply moves the clock down a bit as to not be obscured by the music pulldown. Slide to view messages, etc works now! Hurray!

Here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/?uis3e0detajnh08

I made it to fit just under the disc pulldown image, would anyone prefer it to be far enough down that the music control panel wont cover it? I guess a better question is: is anyone even gonna use it? lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] mykenyc:
I think there's problems with using the market 2.2, for one when i back out certain applications they don't seems to close, i notice this on epic exp rom also, but upon going back to andro rom no problems at all, can you make a separate add on to revert back to old market.
[Epic 4G Android Development] snicklefritts:
I don't Know if it's the the ROM or the Kernel but my phone will randomly black out and have the notification light stay in the same position it was before blacking out. The keyboard lights will still work but the screen won't turn back on by doing anything. It's happened twice in the same day now and once even right in the middle of a call. I could still talk fine, but the screen was off and unresponsive.

I'm using the newest Phoenix Kernel and LauncherPro.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mykenyc:
No worry reverted back to the old market myself everything running smooth.
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
Well, what I can tell you is that I use Mixup and have never seen anything like that.

Strange that it would cause problems being that it's an official update pushed by Sprint... or it is as far as I know.
[Epic 4G Android Development] swears11:
Great rom!

Running good so far.

Only issue I have is that the email app is missing. Anyway I can manually push this?

Also, is their a widget for this new music player?

Thanks,
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
Email is in the removed package in the second post. Sorry for removing it; I know people use it. I used to use it until I learned this, and maybe this'll benefit you...

I had a POP3 email I needed to keep tabs on alongside my personal Gmail, so I just set up my POP account to automatically forward all incoming messages to my Gmail. This will save you battery life because the device doesn't have to wake at an interval to send/receive. Gmail pushes the email to you. Only drawback is you can't really reply to those forwarded emails with your POP account with this method. That's how I've been handling it FWIW.

There is no widget associated with the Fascinate player, or none that I'm aware of. I can confirm that Pure Music Widget works well with it though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigdbag:
I've been using for Apophis 1.0 for 2 days now with the MixUp kernel and it's been brilliant on battery life, with cpu set to interactive and no other battery-saving techniques such as juice defender. With fairly heavy use (wi-fi on 100%, gps on 2 hours, played music 3 hours, watched youtube 30 min, browser use 1 hour, 3d games 1 hour, calls/messages alllll day, trillian aim on 4 hours) I'm getting 10.5 hours right now with 15% still remaining. This is by far the best battery life I've gotten on the Epic since I got it. Keep up the great work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] swears11:
Thanks for the fast response. I put the email.apk on my sd card and tried to install it with astro file mananger and I get an installation error.

Is their another way to do this? Email is really important on my phone. Thanks again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
No problem, man. Get a root file explorer in the market. Either "Root Explorer" or "Estrongs File Explorer" and move the Email.apk to /system/app/ and reboot.

Root Explorer will cost you a few bucks, but I HIGHLY recommend it. If you absolutely need a free alternative, Estrongs will work. You'll have to enable root functionality in it's settings before you'll be able to move the apk though.

Saw this post this morning when I was half asleep and totally forgot about it until now. I really appreciate the effort man; gonna check it out right now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] swears11:
Tried out Estrongs, doesn't work.

Bought Root Explorer, it says I don't have root access.

Also tried another free one: Super Manager. No root access either, apparently.

Not sure what is going on but its kind of a pain.

I'm wondering, is it possible for me to just add the email.apk to the .zip file and reflash the rom? I'm thinking I might have to sign the zip file first. I used to sign zips back when I had a hero, but forgot how to do it. Any chance you can give me instructions.

BTW, my battery life is awesome now!

Thanks,
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
The nice thing about clockwork recovery is that by default it doesn't check for signatures, so you can just add the email apk and flash. If you have the removed zip you can also delete everything but the email apk while keeping the folder structure intact and flash that as an alternative.
[Epic 4G Android Development] scthom:
thanks

Thanks for putting this together. I really like the minimal footprint and the non-theme. Let's me add whatever I want. Which is why I got an android in the first place.
[Epic 4G Android Development] illogic6:
Bump for update to OP.
