Keep the partition structure as it is now.

@MeOverTrance - sorry to hear about your troubles. Your issue to begin with was caused by a bug in the HeroSpecial kernel that loops boot animations endlessly. USB Debugging is on by default and you could have connected to your PC, opened ADB, and typed 'killall bootanimation'. That would have cleared it.

So, to those using Superslim:

Our custom boot animation is smaller than the bloated Sprint package - thus we include it in Superslim. As of right now, only two kernels have custom boot support working correctly - Xtreme Kernel and Phoenix. Kernels with no custom boot support at all will work fine, though you'll just get a black screen after the Samsung logo until the device has booted. Others that claim to support it will have that 'endless loop' bug that requires connecting to ADB and killing the boot animation manually.

EDIT:

Sorry to hear about your trials, but Xtreme Kernel is working well for other users. Superslim is also compatible with kernels that don't support custom boot (due to BUGS in the others), along with Xtreme Kernel and Phoenix. If you were having issues, we suggest the same process we've suggested to everyone else: (as rjmjr69 puts it) WIPE, WIPE, WIPE! :) If you still have issues, the next steps that commonly work to fix it are an SD card format and redownload, and Odin. If you still have issues after that - well, there's always one device out of thousands that will have problems with any particular custom kernel, for seemingly no reason. Even a minor update to those kernels fixes it.

Love this ROM sofar. Thanks to the entire ACS team.

i need help i cant get this to work im using the free rom manager app to install this rom and im getting some sort of signature fail error. not sure if i matters but the letters in the reboot screen are blue not green. im rooted and wireless tethered thats it nothing else done to the phone . i am using a epic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
The "signature verification error" (which is kicked out by the stock recovery) is due to ROM Manager's install method being wonky. In order to get it installed properly, download the One Click Clockwork flasher, turn on USB Debugging, connect to your PC, and run "run-try-first.bat" (and if that kicks up errors, run "run-try-last.bat"). This way you can boot to recovery simply by holding Vol Down + Camera + Power when the phone is off, and reboot to recovery from within ROM Manager.

cause whats his face is lazy ^^
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Actually, noobnl's One Click method is the one I just recommended. :p The ROM Manager (market) method is the one that's breaky.

Why? ROM Manager uses a fakeflash that may or may not work, where the One Click method flashes Clockwork directly to bml7.
[Epic 4G Android Development] IcOpRo:
Benn using this ROM with its kernel, and I had no problems what so ever, runs smooth and feels super fast, batt life is great, I really don't understand where yure coming from.

I'm Currently running with no setcpu for testing purposes, after a couple of days with no set cpu will run with setcpu.

Maybe a full wipe is needed, I know I did it like that. Just a suggestion but if u did that then disregard.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Xhyperion:
I have never had any issues with this method. Only thing is that lasttry.bat is the only thing that works.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Aye, if you run before you're rooted, yes. My personal method after Odin is to boot, turn on USB Debug, and run "run-try-last.bat".
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xhyperion:
I ran after I was rooted.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dorenda:
ok im getting a adb not recognized in both run try first and try last did i miss something also which recovery method will allow me to download the rom thru rom manager or the 3 buttons????
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
You did enable USB Debugging, right? The One Click method I detailed will get you three-button boot as well as ROM Manager.

If you continue to have issues, I suggest posting in the One Click Clockwork thread.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xhyperion:
also dont mount ur epic when doing this
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dorenda:
yes i got the debugging enable green check mark in the box lol. it gave me the abd not recognized internal or external wait 60 seconds when i wait the 60 seconds it just closes the command prompt
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
You should probably post in the One Click thread. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dorenda:
im doing that now thanks for all the help hope to be using custom rom tonight if i am i will post you guys are very good at what you do.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SemiGamer:
Arghh bro I'm not talking about mounting it with your phone -.-

Here.

1: Take your microSD card OUT OF your phone.

2: Put your microSD card into the SD adapter that came in your phones box

3: Put the ADAPTER into your computer.

Than your card is mounted and you can put on/take off whatever you want..

EDIT:

Nevermind, just saw you already got it fixed. Didn't read the rest of the pages before replying to your reply to me. :P
[Epic 4G Android Development] Vertig0:
anyway to chage Gmail incon?

TIA!
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Please let this one go, the solutions to this user's problems have been posted. Quoting him only fuels the baseless trash-talk he's spewing around the board/AndroidCentral.

Flash the stock icons zip, or, if you prefer to keep the other modified icons, just drop the Gmail.apk from that zip into /system/app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SemiGamer:
My apologies, didn't see his problem was solved :\ went to my last posts which brought me back to his reply to me, and answered it. Than read through the pages and felt stupid. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Vertig0:
I figure that much... anyway you guys can make it bigger? I really like the mods to the apk except the size of the icon.

thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
We'll have it changed in the next release.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JGeZau:
Any chance in adding an extra option under Phone Options to reboot into recovery mode?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
We will have full reboot and battery popup mods in the next version.

This is just a random wish...but 360 youtube/video support would rule...I hate always having to lay a certain way in bed when watching movies. By the way, I just installed this...and am LOVING it!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Demand pending we're considering 270 degree rotation by default in the next version.

Thanks for your support!
[Epic 4G Android Development] brian2220:
is there going to be a way to disable this if it gets added .

And keep up the great work this rom only gets better and better :cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Yes. Ultimately, it's one of the switchable features we plan on implementing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JGeZau:

Sorry if this is a repost but I'm having trouble while the phone is charging the screen won't come on and I have to pull the battery
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:

If not, are you using SetCPU?

[Epic 4G Android Development] Bluewind29:
k0nane

I just wanted to take this time and thank you for an awesome Rom, I switched from the EVO to the EPIC and been jumping around Rom's to find the best one, and I defiantly think that yours is the best, expect a donation to come shortly. I loaded the DROID X boot animation onto the epic and it looks sick as anything.

I do have a question, how hard would it be to include in your rom to kill the "OmaDrmConfigService", I thought I viewed somewhere that this is part of Samsung's MediaHub, but since it (MediaHub) was removed, can this be killed from the rom all together?. I have no problem killing it every reboot, but just a thought :)

Again, thanks for all your hard work and look forward to seeing future updates!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Masterface7:
To get rid of that service you have to remove 3 things from the system folder having to do with drm. In this rom 2 of them are removed already so you have to remove the 3rd yourself, it is called sisodrmprovider and i recommend the sdx stock app remover tool to do it. I would guess it was left in for stability reasons since most of the time people try to remove it in the cooking process it causes problems. I have it removed and my rom is running fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bluewind29:
Ah, I understand.

Thanks for the reply!, I appreicate it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
We're working on removing the DRM completely. SisoDrmProvider is tied in directly with the music player (actually, the underlying media service); if it's removed you'll see hangs of anything that plays music (stock, Fascinate, CM players; Subsonic).

EDIT: With Froyo coming before the end of the month, this may be a goal we wait on, as it requires significant dissection of the system. All of the various types of DRM are deeply integrated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] surveysays:
currently calibrating my battery right now and i forgot to wipe my battery stats. dose that matter
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
It's a very important part.

EDIT:

I and a few other key ACS members have it, yes. ;) We can't release it - but we are looking it over.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tbee2k9:
Do I have to wipe to update this rom

Im updating from your 1.0 version. Do I have to wipe before installing? :confused::confused::confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] surveysays:
im pretty sure you dont. only factory if your coming from another rom. you should be good
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
I would if I were you its sad that you have to and I am not saying you MUST but Im saying if it were me and my phone I would. And I would WIPE WIPE WIPE and if you have never formatted your sdcard since you got the phone I would after backing it up.

Partially correct thank you very much for your help. How do you personally like the rom so far?

Im also going to say that the SAMSUNG POS stock USB cable that came with the phone is USELESS for flashing ANYTHING to the phone so DO NOT USE IT. if you have an old HTC cable or even a store bought one then use it the Samsung one is JUNK IMO and if you do a search here on xda its been discussed and backed up many times.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:

[Epic 4G Android Development] keeepinitgansta:
Great rom once again. One problem I am having is that my screen times out while using slingplayer. Any way to fix this? I don't want to use screenbl.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Sounds like Sling needs to work more on their software... or charge less for it. ;)

My best recommendation is to search the Market for a time-out disabling app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tbee2k9:
Thanks for the help. Also SurveySays prociate that, but I had to wipe and reformat my card. I was unable to update. Ill use Smsbackup and Titanium to restore.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Keep in mind Titanium is buggy when restoring APKs - we recommend restoring settings only. AppBrain is a great way to keep track of your apps across flashes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
I use android commander personally
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
I fired mine up to test for you.....mine is not timing out....been running for 5 minutes now...check all your settings...

Agreed....I dropped Titanium because of this....I use Mybackuporo and have zero issues when restoring.....but I also only restore data for apk's that i absolutely need....otherwise just apk....and no system data ever....works great for me every time...

One issue I have and its been the only issue.....NFL apk fires up and works....but when i try to play the live video it forecloses.....regular vids work just the live do not......everything else on the app works no problems....it may be an app issue...but if one of you could test it that would be great....btw I am still on version 1.0.1 standard...thx!
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
Well thx for testing! I had a feeling it may be.....

mobile ap support?

Hey bro, I'm currently running sai, I just was wondering if your kernel suppports the mobile ap mod as I wanna tether my epic to my g tab but as you know android don't play nice with ad hoc thts on the wifi tether app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Unfortunately no, MobileAP isn't compatible with any deodexed ROMs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dulanic:
Just flashed this ROM yesterday. Seems very smooth overall. However I am running into wifi issues here and there. It works but if it sleeps the radio sometimes it doesn't seem to want to allow downloading. This seems intermitent and it shows me having a wifi signal and connected but web pages timeout. This seems random but only happens after being asleep. Anyone else seen wifi wake issues?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
I have not seen this, but our testers will look into it. It sounds like your router is just a bit slow on accepting connections.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dulanic:
It is a brand new n router and my laptops and pcs and wireless access points connect very very quickly. It has only happened twice so far. First after I flashed and then when I woke up. I will keep an eye if it happens again. I'm running g only mode also since my work laptop which has n works like **** with n lol... thank you corporate security for locking it down so much I can't even change settings lol.

Actually I just noticed I woke my phone and its using 3g even tho wifi is enabled.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Our testers will keep an eye on it as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dulanic:
Thanks. Any info needed let me know. I'll leave wifi off for now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Given the power draw of 3G data, you might see if setting your WiFi sleep policy to 'never' saves you battery - and naturally, it'd clear up any issues. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
Yes, that helps a lot with battery life, I can attest to that, there is minimal battery drain on Wifi and setting it to "never" never takes you out of Wifi unless you're out of range.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kgbcapthowdy:
where can i find more themes and are there any screen shots of the themes. i saw the one posted by OP but there are no screens
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
You can use any theme current posted in the Themes and Apps forum with our ROM. SyndicateTheme includes all of the icon changes seen in the ROM.

We also recommend Emotionless Beast, another ACS production, now with ACS-made custom transition animations! Check it out here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dulanic:
Maybe I am just missing it...where is the wifi sleep policy? Didn't see it under wireless in the settings.

Edit: nm see it in spare parts lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] blazewit:
So basically id have to pretty much be on rooted stock to get ap capability? will tht change with froyo since it has native tethering support?

Ran into my first problem this morning all of my contact photos, the ones from face book, are missing. I know someone else had this problem but I can't find it. Any idea how to fix it? If not I'm just giving a heads up about the bug.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dulanic:
Not working I still need to cycle my wifi.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nanncee:
I have been testing wifi all morning, and have had no problems. You said that it started to happen after flashing this rom? did you do the standard wipe wipe wipe? Also what kind of router are you running? ( I work on computers and networks for a living if you need any help shoot me a PM)

Please verify that your facebook sync is enabled. They should show up in your contacts list.

They won't however show up when making or receiving calls. It is known as a problem and being worked on.

Thanks for using the ACS ROM

I was running epic experience with phoenix 1.45 with np. I did a full reset and triple wiped data, cache, and dalvik. I have a dlink dir655 n router but I'm currently running it in g only.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
Where were you when I posted this in the General section of Samsung Epic!? lol j/k but seriously, my question there was does anyone know what the settings mean or how to properly configure this app to make the most of your phone? Can you please post your preferred settings and experience with this app please?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dfe002:
OK after tinkering with it I got it up and running. I had to delete my Facebook account syncing then resync it.

This ROM/kernel and theme enhancement is great. I've been waiting for the Epic community to coalesce like the ACS is doing.

I was a big supporter of Schizopunk's EE (beta tester, etc), but made the switch this weekend. The enhancements are great. I am a big proponent of the free market/Sith philosophy -- you're #1 until somebody takes over. He's a great dev and I hope he joins the syndicate.

Thanks for the ROM and thanks for pushing this community to more dev options.

Charged to 100% at 9am. At 10:25am my battery is at 78%.. Minimal usage, wifi browsing for 20 minutes. Setcpu is set at 1200/200 on demand. Killed that running process as well mentioned in phoenix thread.. Going try backed snack now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
Posts like this kill me, even as a non-dev. I'm going to go out on a limb and say you did not calibrate your battery after flashing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dulanic:
I grabbed some shots of what I am seeing, as can be seen it has a valid WIFI connection.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
So you're the tester who left that Schizo was talking about! ;) I don't anticipate he'll join ACS any time soon, but we at ACS respect his skill, and occasionally swap techniques/etc. with him.

In re: battery life, the poster above is correct. You MUST calibrate!

WPA2. It is funky.... I think something else is going on after using my phone this morning. I am going to do a odin reset and start from scratch later on when I have the time. Over the past hour my touch screen will stop responding until I go back into sleep and then come back out and my battery is horrible. Something funky is going on.... I'll report back after a odin reset.

[Epic 4G Android Development] sitnamzug132:
Thanks for all of the effort. This is the best ROM/kernel i've used thus far. I'm very pleased with the battery life/snappiness. So far stability has been very strong. I also like a lot of the additions such as the music player pull down on the lock screen. Very nice!!

The only issue that i've had since flashing Sai a couple days ago is during boot the animation hangs. The first time it happened I heard the radio sound but the screen still displayed the boot animation, which had froze. I was able to restart the phone by knowing where the different buttons would appear on screen. Boot up again and same problem, except I didn’t get the radio sound and the phone didn’t respond, and the 4 menu buttons on the bottom were all lit. I three-button pressed and the phone rebooted and then everything started normally. Then performed wipe x 3 and installed a different rom/kernel combo and had the same issue with the boot screen which was still the syndicate boot. I wiped x 3 again and installed Sai, reboot, and still having the issue. Even now when I restart the phone on boot up it hangs at the animation and I have to three-button press and reboot to get the phone to load correctly. Note this is on 1.0.1, not 1.0.1a.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nanncee:
Yep that was going to be my next response, let us know how it goes!

Same goes for you, if wiping and reflashing the ACS rom doesn't fix it. ODIN back to stock and start from scratch. I don't know forsure what would cause that (I'm a beta tester.... haha ) but ODIN should fix most problems.

This rom is sick. I have just loaded it on my Epic which was previously running Schizo's latest along with xtreme kernel. Nice work guys.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JerzDevl:
This is my 1st post and I just wanted to take time to thank everybody involved for their dedication and hard work with this kernal and rom. It is an amazing rom and I can't wait to see the future updates. My only question is, would there be any way to add your rom to a repo for updates using rom manager directly? That seems to be the only thing I miss from using the Evo with rom manager. Keep up the good work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] atkailash:
Why the wipe 3 times? For cache/dalvik/factory? I didn't get the rom smoothly until I actually did that (didn't see the point before).

That said, loving the rom. Have to calibrate battery still though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JGeZau:
How to calibrate the battery? I know I have to drain the battery, charge it while phone off, then drain again, after that? charge it again while phone off?
[Epic 4G Android Development] *AndroidMaster*:
Charge to 100%. Go into Clockwork Recovery, go to Advanced, and hit Wipe Battery Stats. Reboot, then fully drain the battery 100% -> 0%. Charge it back up to 100% while turned on, and you should be calibrated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JGeZau:
Thanks .......
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nanncee:
My only assumption as to why you have to do that is things don't get cleared completely all the time. If you do it three times, you are almost guaranteed to have cleared all problems.
