Quick Question.. Am I suppose to flash A modem for V1.4 or is it already there? I see OP says it requires dk17 modem, however I can't find download for it, or do I grab it from Shabby's post? Also I just seen a post stating that you were releasing a update tonight, if so will just wait.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kelmar13:
Grab it from Shabby's thread and install with Odin.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sryans2004:
Thanks for your help!

I had the same problem after completing all the steps (including wipe 3x) and I also dont have 3G service. Also tried toggle 3G on & off, no service. I turn off 3G and only left 4G on and got service. Of course having only having 4G will not work on daily usage. So before resorting going back to 1.3. I decided to power off and remove battery. Once it came up, 3G/4G is working. :eek: Dont understand why but thats what I did. Just sharing...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
Alright small update on 1.5

I finished the AOSP lockscreen completely now. It now no longer unlocks with the menu key, and no longer returns to the default lockscreen on a missed call. ^_^

Getting ready to test a2sd

Battery mod w/ stock 1% working great; no noticeably battery drain.

Touchwiz Launcher edits; The page indicator dots are now hidden unless you are scrolling. Minor edits to the transition time.

How to flash hulu via upgrade or just flash in ClockworkMod.

dito33
[Epic 4G Android Development] codest3r:
The latter.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sryans2004:
When you do release the update, can I just flash, & wipe cache and not wipe data? And if so should I have to odin the modem again? I just installed 1.4 & really not wanting to reinstall apps and what not lol.

Small request on a themed transparent notification drop down? If not, ROM is still rockin.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dito33:
Is that goes same for the themes, thank you.

[Epic 4G Android Development] codest3r:
So all you wanting a2sd - what is the greatest benefit to having it? I've loaded every possible app I could want onto internal memory. Do you feel there is a performance boost running apps off different device with separate bandwidth? Is it just cause you have a need to play with it? :D

I looked around the forums and google and couldn't find any objective evidence of performance increases, unless you're just flat out of internal app storage space. If you are - what the heck are you filling it up with?! :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] Magic Oreo:
flashed this not getting service no more :X

EDIT: pretty sure its the modem not this rom :).
[Epic 4G Android Development] codest3r:
Is that a question? :confused: Yeah - most themes you'd flash from clockwork. Make sure you nandroid backup and try to make sure the theme is compatible with your ROM/release.
[Epic 4G Android Development] codest3r:
Dare I ask - did you wipe and follow the instructions in the OP?
[Epic 4G Android Development] HipHopIsLyfe37:
The link to the modem should be on the first page. It's in big bold brownish-orange letters. Download it, unzip the files, run Odin and then put the PIT file in where it says "PIT" and the .tar file where it says "PDA"

You have to boot into download mode on your phone by holding down "1" and the power button on the keyboard while the phone is off.

Next connect your phone via USB and click START on Odin
[Epic 4G Android Development] dito33:
Thanks codest3r, yes its a question and again in clockwork do I flash via upgrade

or just flash, matter a fact is that only the kernel getting flash via upgrade and everything else just flash the zip? I am new at this but got pretty good going this rom and Thank You All.

dito33
[Epic 4G Android Development] codest3r:
I think I got what you mean - I always "install from sd card" and pick the file by name (same name I downloaded). Never used the update.zip file, if that is what you mean.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Magic Oreo:
yep.

do u odin the modem before or after flashing the rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Razgriz:
Really liking Froyo on the Epic so far...I am having one issue though, and it's kind of a big one for me: autopredict isn't working for any of the keyboards.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
Dropped a2sd support. You can install the apps2sd from the market, and then add an ext-sd partition to your sd card using CWM. The darktremor scripts continuously give me black screen of death with vibrators going off :P

Sorry guys, but not gonna fudge around with that until we have source; plus it is kinda pointless anyway imo. If you need more space use the normal a2sd method (Grab market app, etc, etc)
[Epic 4G Android Development] codest3r:
I do the modem after the ROM most times because the ROM can include a modem update too, but as long as the ROM doesn't flash a modem (in this case it does not) you are fine to do it in either order. I do it afterwards just out of habit.

A really fine consolidated write up with embedded URL's, IMHO, was done by decalex on post 1029 of this thread. He was pretty thorough on the steps to take to ensure a good GPS lock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] smark72:
I noticed the same thing and i am not liking it. I see option for suggested words but it is not working like it use to. Hope its fixed with official release or maybe we could use keyboard fron 2.1??
[Epic 4G Android Development] codest3r:
BSOD with vibrators going off. Hrm. Microsoft might have gained some good will if they included vibrators with their OS's. :eek: In other news, a recent study has found that women have more trouble with computer technology as it's been determined that females crash their PC's 8000x more often than their male counterparts.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Razgriz:
I think it might have something to do with the dictionary...the only work I have seen it want to correct to is "Android"
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
1.5 coming still tonite?
[Epic 4G Android Development] smark72:
I think you are right about dictionary or stored words. I added a few words by pressing on them after i finished typing and the next time i start to type the same word it shows as a suggested word. It still doesnt auto complete though by pressing spacebar when the correct word is highlighted.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
Are the add-on still suppose to work with 1.4? I have flashed the hulu mod and vanilla lock screen and both have giving me the black screen of death. The only one that has worked for me so far is the Tablet email app but I would like to flash all of them really if 1.4 supports them. Any info/assistance is much appreciated, TIA!

Camera Issue?

Anyone else having an issue with the camera? Right after I take the first picture, all of the screen icons no longer respond (i.e can't change settings after taking one picture).
[Epic 4G Android Development] codest3r:
Please read post 1029 - it has both DK17 modems (the .bin from shabby and the .tar version from ACS).
[Epic 4G Android Development] codest3r:
Yeah, check the OP for DK17 compatible add-ons Ex. aosplockdk17.zip or the others unless otherwise noted in this thread.

Trying to follow decalex's wonderful instructions in post 1029, but Odin isn't recognizing the phone. I'm running stock DI18. Any ideas?

****CHECK THIS OUT***

After 5 hours of experimenting, I finally got my phone to work.

IF anyone, like me, was having problems with the phone coming up with "no service" after flashing 1.4 and the "DK17 modem", CHECK THIS OUT...I downloaded the modem/pit from a completely different froyo rom ( http://k0nane.info/rom/odin-pit-modem.zip ) and flashed it in oden w/ the victory pit and it

finally

worked. it was 14.8 MB. the 15 and 12 meg "dk17's", whatever the hell they are, refused to work and made my radio broken.

BTW...does that make any sense at all??? lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] codest3r:
My guess is there was a problem with your original modem flash. If you were flashing the Shabby modem.bin did you leave off the .pit and put it in the right place in Odin?

I have been running the ACS DK17 modem.tar too and haven't had any problems. I've always enjoyed ACS productions - they do quality work, but prefer the Quantum Froyo over their DK17 release. However, I doubt the DK17 modem provided by shabby or ACS performs differently (I don't think they made any changes to the modem firmware).
[Epic 4G Android Development] bryanfritz1:
I asked about this last night and was told the size difference was due to compression format. I believe they are the same but I used shabbys and it works great and I'm still using v1.3 with is only dk05 framework with dk17 modem.

Wht is the command called to calibrate ur batter in clockwork? Someone toldme flush battery but I don't see that option the only one I see is wipe battery stats... is that it? Thank You in advance
[Epic 4G Android Development] raylusk:
Wipe battery stats is the correct option.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DAVenom:
Thank you for the quick reply. And just to be sure I need to have the battery 100% which it is and then wipe the stats and till it drains the batery like 1-4% and recharge full again and done?

Great rom dameon, super stable...can you tell me how to turn on the boot sound and can you remove the iphone style icons in the app drawer and replace them with normal android icon instead on your next release? Also any way to add boot animation? Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] Delta1Fox:
I'm having the same issue with the camera (not allowing th settings or any on screen selection after one shot) and I've whipped 3 times on a fresh flash. I gotta say that this built is awesome. My email app is finally pulling all the info and can view attachments again! This is great! Hopefully the camera bug gets fix, but for now I just back out and go back in :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] wudstock54:
Certainly don't think you're being an ass. And I did read. Perhaps a hasty post as at that point I didn't have time to try alternative methods. I appreciate all the effort and hard work. I'll try again when I get home and have the time. Many thanks.

Im good with angry birds....works great...
[Epic 4G Android Development] codest3r:
I can't reproduce this either. After taking a shot it shows me the photo with no menus. Then it goes back to camera mode - the settings while taking pictures are in a drawer you have to tap the arrow to pull out. Took 6 shots no problem this morning. :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] codest3r:
Never played angry sharks but that doesn't sound good. The froyo builds seem to be more sensitive to screen rotation (e.g. when waking from sleep). Shouldn't degrade game behavior. Did you try recalibrating your level sensors or accelerometers?
[Epic 4G Android Development] spf2722:
Yeah, fully charge, go to clockwork and wipe battery stats, let it get down to 1-10% and then fully charge.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spf2722:
I am having similar problems, before I take a picture camera menus work fine, when I take a picture it shows a preview of the shot, if you don't touch the back button, all camera features work, if you hit the back button during preview, camera features will not work??????
[Epic 4G Android Development] cjobanion:
Another "Quantum Rocks" post from me! I have Odin'd and flashed everything to DK17 and even threw in all of the 1.4 add-ons and have not had any problems so far. (Not really liking the new email app, but that is a personal preference that I can change back w/o bothering you or the community!)

I have tried to reproduce the issues that I have read about throughout the "after DK17 flash" posts to try to see if my phone "did that too" and have not been able to reproduce anything myself. I wiped everything 3 times - as instructed - and this update is fantastic.

I realize that every phone put out will have its' own quirks and I have obviously gotten one that was one of the near perfect ones, but I just wanted to report that - for me - the things that I have read about in these DK17 posts do not seem to be affecting my/every Epic.

Sorry to clutter your thread with this, but I just wanted to report my results so far.

Thanks again and have a safe Thanksgiving!
[Epic 4G Android Development] codest3r:
Just did this and it lets me take another photo if I hit back once. If I hit back twice it exits the camera. I should add that I'm not doing *any* of the add-ons except battery mod and new e-mail right now as I'm anxiously awaiting 1.5 release. No Samsung or Sprint apps loaded. Maybe that's the difference? Dunno, can't reproduce.

Battery drained to 25% in 8hrs overnight with only wifi on. Gonna try out some other froyo roms now over thanksgiving bc I cant be dealing with that during my regular schedule.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spf2722:
I can get the problem to replicate, take a picture, while in preview use back button to return to camera before it times out and auto returns, once you are back to camera viewing screen menus will not open. They do react to touch but don't actually open menus, take picture, change cameras or to recording. Its like camera is on but nothing works.

[Epic 4G Android Development] insanity213:
It's 9:30am now, I came off the charger at 7:30 last night w/ 100% charge. Drove 35 miles w/ gps on and winamp running on max volume. Updated flightview several times to keep track of a delayed flight. Made 2 phone calls and sent 2 text messages. Slept about 7 hours, read/received 3 work emails and 5 personal. Took 3 pictures, downloaded spare parts to check battery life. I'm down to 65% which I think is pretty damn good considering GPS use and the fact that I haven't calibrated the battery since DJ29. Battery life will only get better once our talented devs get their hands on some kernel source sauce :)

I've noticed my biggest cause of battery drain is bad CDMA coverage or a rogue app that steals my precious CPU cycles. The only little hiccup I've encountered since flashing 1.4 yesterday at work is that Winamp skipped for about 2 or 3 seconds when GPS was getting its lock. Was perfectly fine after initial lock.

This DK17 ROM makes me horny - my wife is jealous - of the horniness and the rom itself (she has an Epic too, stock DI18). Was waiting for the official release to upgrade her but this ROM is pretty damn solid as it is and I might just go for it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] insanity213:
To all you guys getting camera weirdness and force closes - did you restore any portion of any backups after 3x wipe and flash?

I've had issues in the past doing a Nandroid data only restore between ROMS. Whenever I flash I just install everything clean and resync with gmail and my other email providers to get my messages back. I lose my SMS history, but I hate SMS anyway...

I've noticed that the DRM service is running like 2.1 so just killed that process.

Is the new DRM service likely to drain battery as before?

I backup through my back up pro not nandroid. I dont think ther is any camera data in backup.

I've flashed using both methods several times.

Modem.bin in phone section flashes sucessfully but gives unknown baseband and no working radio, everytime.

Pit file plus modem.tar in pda flashes successfully and gives dk17 baseband with coverage but no gps at all. Never finds a sat... ever.

I'm also having slight camera issues. It works fine once app is started up. Once a picture is taken and you press the button to review it then return to the camera, nothing seems to work. This only happens when I press the review button. I can take multiple pics if I don't review them myself.

Wanted to add that this rom is otherwise amazing, greatly appreciated!!

Are the download links in the op supposed to be giving out a file that is just titled quantumromv1.zip? The only reason I ask is because I have downloaded what I've thought to be v1.4 and yet with the dk17 modem, both copies I had, wouldn't boot after all the proper wiping and flashing. Just curious downloading another copy to try. I do all my flashing and downloading via phone( other than odin) and I have experienced bad downloads where cwm will thro an error and in the past I just restore a nan and redownload and all is good. But this time I had two copies on the sd just for this reason. One copy failed in cwm, second one installs but never boots. I tried this 3x and both copies repeated identical behavior. Just thought I would throw it out there.

Edit: I believe after viewing the forums and trying the download on a pc that it might be a glitch from xda taptalk. Ill try the pc download and update .
[Epic 4G Android Development] cjobanion:
Did you, by chance, flash more than one .zip/add-on at a time? I had a similar problem in the past. I thought back then that once the rom was flashed, you could just go back into CW and flash all the .zips you wanted at one time without rebooting each time. I learned the hard way that it is better - although a pain in the ass - to reboot after each .zip/add-on.

Not sure if this will be helpful in your case. Just thought I would throw it out there!

EDIT: I realize you are talking about "apps", not .zips but I had this problem after not installing one .zip/add-on at a tinme in CW and then tyring to download/install apps from inside the rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bubby323:
Dameon...your welcome for the leaks :P Glad you put them to use I loaded the DK17 stock tar earlier today and found it to be a bit buggy, but this rom is running perfect. (;
[Epic 4G Android Development] drunix:
I've tried a lot of fiddling with the settings with no luck, but this sounds promising since we have the exact same symptoms. Unless we're all misinformed on how we are flashing the bin we have somethin in common with our devices. I'd venture a guess that you didn't have any problems with your GPS before froyo... that true?

Camera issue fix (sorta)

Ok, at first I said that taking a picture seems to stop the camera from working, but it seems that it's actually going to the gallery that messes it up. So if you go to settings and turn off the 'review' option, it should let you take multiple pictures. But if you click to view the gallery and then go back, the on screen keys don't respond.
[Epic 4G Android Development] codest3r:
Now that I can reproduce. It's like the screen and camera button are in lock mode (but not the half press for focus - that still is active). Backing out of camera to home screen and going back into camera (without viewing the gallery) restores all functionality though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Magic Oreo:
yep i flashed alot of addons after flashing the rom, rebooting after each flash will probably fix it. :)
