The Barcode scanner is FC'ing for me as well, but everything else is near perfect!

I agree perfectly - flashing DK05, works like a charm. Odin DK05 modem, easy as pie. Why are we constantly hearing from the "elite" that this wasn't to be released because it would brick our phones and was/isn't stable, blah blah blah. I feel like there's some sort of inner circle "boy's club" mentality going on here, and I don't like it. Thankfully, there are still people out there that understand the real purpose and nature of XDA, and to those people, I say THANK YOU!

Additionally, I can confirm - awesome GPS with DK05 modem + Rom. Exactly the type of performance I have been accustomed to and expect from a phone. Fast location locks (within 5 seconds, every time) and accuracy fluctuating from 3 to 9 feet. At this rate, I'm betting we'll have a great phone when 2.2 is final and even better once the devs get a chance to tear it down and give us some of that crazy battery life they've been able to achieve on 2.1!

Anyway, great rom!
[Epic 4G Android Development] elevenpoint7five:
Hey there, sorry for being so new to this. I flashed the ROM with no issues, it seems to work great. How do I apply the updates though? Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Tamvegas:
I always do a full wipe before flashing a new rom. I tried the technique of wiping, flashing to DI18, doing the GPS lock, wiping and flashing Quantum (DK05) etc last night. No old ROM data restored.

Seems much better. Battery usage vastly improved.

There are still several FC'ing apps. (barcode scanner, LED Flashlight & FoxNews)

USB storage and downloading to SD card working correctly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
I already stated earlier in the thread that this version of the beta has problems with applications that try to interface with the camera. It is likely a problem with the driver. Ill take a peak at it in a bit.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Tamvegas:
Was aware of the barcode scanner issue before installing your rom. I just included that app with the two others having FC issues to give more complete information. The led flashlight issue is related (I guess) thru the use of the camera led, but the FoxNews app FC seems unrelated.

And thanks for the best DK05 rom yet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
The fox news app does sound a bit weird. No idea why that would even be happening, unless for some reason it tries to interface with your camera.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
It's a security thing. Take a logcat, it'll show you. The camera driver doesn't let anything third-party in. It's really frustrating.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dito33:
How do I bring reboot to the power button also how is that after all the wiping sprint hot spot remembers my wep key from 2 roms before.

Regarding THIS very fine ROM... It is very fine!

Using it as my daily all day and quite happy with it. Quick and responsive.... NO Force Closes... NO Lockups... Getting great Wireless and Wired Tethering.... at 4G here in the ATL.

You Rock Dameon! Cheers!

On another related matter:

I believe you are talking about this guy: http://xdaforums.com/search.php?searchid=50163137

Look at all the different forums that he just runs around obsessed with the lag in.

How about we get the Devs to make sure that they announce in the freaking thread title update that the lag is fixed and then he can just lurk since he doesn't have anything else to do.

In answer to his question though: I believe that more than 1 of the Devs has stated that they think that the lag is in the Kernel.

We don't have the Kernel to play with.

If we don't have the Kernel to play with... the lag CAN'T be FREAKING FIXED... until we do.

Yeesh!

Regarding THIS very fine ROM... It is very fine!

You Rock Dameon!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
Yeah, but whatever :P The lag is probably because of debugging code, alongside beta drivers that aren't even fully done yet. Hopefully it will be fixed by release, but if not there are going to be some unhappy customers :P

And thank you for the compliments =] I hope everyone is enjoying the rom, aside from the camera related fcs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cobradude:
nope.... no issues with that
[Epic 4G Android Development] JudasD:
I agree; this is a very nice rom. There are a few nice roms out right now. how does a person choose? right now i just flash about every 2-3 hours. Why you ask? ohh just because :P

Quick question about going back to original

Hey all,

Quick question for you (well maybe 3).. I have my Epic all rooted. I have a backup thru clockwork.

I have not flashed any roms yet... I keep wanting to, but just dont pull the trigger.. I guess my question, if I flash this then want to go back to how I was before, do I just flash back to my backup done in clockwork?? Thats all there is to it?? any need for odin or anything?? Also the different add on zips, like the lock screens and the sprint stuff, can I just flash all of them thru clockwork too, after I have the rom flashed? I know the sprint stuff says to use clockwork, so I was just wondering about the other zips in the first post.. And lastly, I think.. For my apps and settings and all, I keep seeing different methods and thoughts on how to go about this.. I see that you can restore it thru clockwork.. Is this the best route?

Thanks all for any input.. Flashing noob, so just want to get everything straight.. Played with palm and the pre after that, this is my first droid and I am loving it..
[Epic 4G Android Development] asapelectric:
Nope, been doing this for a while, years even. But have you read that thread? I see a lot of questions, some legit, and not being answered. I'm referring to the people who "bricked their phones", and supposedly they followed the instructions. It just seems sporadic, the chances of success, that's all. This thread seems very helpful, NO OFFENSE, but not including your , " I belong here, but you don't because you like roms. " little remark. Smooth, Smoothone.

This is concerning Odin, by the way, for those of you wondering.

Does anyone know how to check the modem version? I flashed it with Odin, but I am uncertain if it really worked.

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] edonnelly:
Wow, how could I not notice that there's no alarm clock? I'm glad you mentioned this because my phone is my alarm clock for the work week. Going to the market now to find an alarm, because I'm planning on keeping this ROM for a while (probably until the official 2.2 comes out). Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bagelicious:
Same here - my phone gives me 3 alarms each morning Mon-Fri. I'd be screwed without any of them. As for the alarm apps, I'm kinda fond of Awaken. There's a free and paid version out there. They are both pretty solid and its nice to wake up to any mp3 in your collection.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cjobanion:
Quantum Rocks!

I just wanted to throw in my "two-cents" in on this ROM!

After reading through this thread (yes, the whole thing - once you have read it, the next time you're just looking at new stuff, right?!!) I felt comfortable in knowing what to do to flash this rom and had an understanding of what was going to work and what "may" not.

That being said, this rom is outstanding. I did all the usual steps with the back ups, the wipes, etc. Then I flashed the DI18 to get the gps lock ( as suggested in a previous post - and followed it EXACTLY!). Then flashed this rom and got the gps to lock again. I never Odin'd the 05 modem. Everything runs great without it. I might do it later, but that will just be a bonus.

Browser, contacts, calendar, etc. works. Of course, apps that use the camera are having issues, but that isn't the Dev's ROM - and it was something I knew was going to happen because of previous posts so no worries!!

To the DEV - thanks for a great work in progress. Your work is much appreciated and your responses to what most would consider dumb, already REPEATEDLY asked and ANSWERED questions is amazing. It's obvious - as you have stated - that you enjoy what you are doing!

Thanks again and I look forward to future updates/progress.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
You guys are dorks! The alarm is the in the "Clock" app. lmao :P
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
Thank you for the kind words. I do enjoy what I do, and I don't mind answering questions, as long as the person has atleast tried to solve the problem themselves.

[Epic 4G Android Development] cjobanion:
Go into "settings", then "about phone", then scroll down to "baseband version". I believe what it says should end with "05".
[Epic 4G Android Development] cheema:
Interesting. My baseband version says S.D700.0.55.DK05. So I assume that it is the newer one. However my GPS does not work at all. With DI18, stock ROM and cold start it worked reasonably well. Now it appears completely dead. I clear data/cache multiple times, reboot the phone. Nothing. No GPS. I stepped out of the house with no clouds in between my phone and the blue sky. Still no GPS. I guess the next thing to try would be to go back to DI18 and see if the GPS starts working again.

Has anybody else with this ROM and the new modem code seen a similar problem related to GPS?
[Epic 4G Android Development] cheema:
> You guys are dorks! The alarm is the in the "Clock" app. lmao :P

Did not know this. The old stock ROM included an Alarm app that I used frequently. When I did not see it, I panicked.

Thanks for pointing this out so gently. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
Haha no problem :P It was a funny question xD
[Epic 4G Android Development] smark72:
I was wondering if anyone could help me. I am trying to use odin to update to dk05. I am following all instructions and cannot get the pit and modem files to show up in the respective fields. When I click on pit to upload the .pit file nothing shows in the box and the same happens when I click on phone to upload the modem.bin file. I tried several times and same thing. I tried two different versions of ODIN and restarted my pc after installing.

Everything is running great with this rom!! I tried three others and all very buggy on my phone. This is the only one that I have yet to find any major issues with. Camera button does turn on screen and not sure how to stop it but not really a big deal. Thanks Deamon!!

Bleh i couldn't get the market to install apps, tried all methods of clearing data/cache.

Can't get radio to turn on

Dameon87,

I installed DK05 version of you rom last night. Everything was good until his morning. I was getting ready to listen to my morning radio and it suddenly shut off but now the radio won't turn on. I have tried switching to airplaine mode on and off but it doesn't allow me to.

Another thing. What kernel are you running with these betas? Or do these betas have their own built in kernel?
[Epic 4G Android Development] littlepr:
Nevermind Dameon. Reloading the rom on top of the existing fixed the radio issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kelmar13:
Alternatively, they can always rip the APK out of a stock 2.1 ROM (or DL the attached) and drop it in to the /system/app folder and have the "old" method with the standalone app. :)

ROM looks great thus far!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zor Omega:
Ok so I have to ask this. I've been flashing roms since my hero, so I'm not a complete newb, but everyone here keeps emphasisng wiping before going to 1.2. If I'm on 1.1 do I need to wipe, or am I good. Since its just an incremental update. I'm not replacing the modem....yet... so no worries there. Thanks for any help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Squeaky369:
Great ROM so far (1.2); best out there, and the most stable.

However; I don't know if anyone else is having this issue. I did search through the thread first.

After about 2 or 3 hours of using the ROM; all of my sounds stop working. I have to do a battery pull to get them to work again. Not a huge deal.

I did a 3x wipe and all before I installed... And I'm not using the new modem yet.

Anyone else encountering this issue?
[Epic 4G Android Development] elevenpoint7five:
Well, I figured this out! :) The ROM is great man! The issues I have are because of my inability to wipe. I tried it once, and it worked flawlessly, I just couldn't figure out how to get my apps and data back without just restoring my Nandroid backup. Back to reading I guess...

Thanks for all your hard work!

[Epic 4G Android Development] allin1der:
Id just like to say this rom is very awesome for me... and that I used Qik to successfully video chat with my wife. No issues other than the GPS lockon but I'll be flashing the radio shortly to "fix" that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cobradude:

please help -- 1.2DK05 + new modem = no GPS for me

Hi. Wiped 3x (cache and data), installed new modem through Odin, and then 1.2 DK05. Had no issues. Everything works with 2 huge (for me) exceptions.

1) GPS does not work. I turn on GPS. Try to get a fix using GPS status and Google Nav. In GPS status, it doesn't see any satellites. I am used to it seeing some satellites and having a hard time getting a fix. But, now, the GPS status window just shows that large asterisk looking thing indicating that it is thinking. It never gets tot the point where it sees anything? any suggestions?

2) I can't see many apps that I had installed before in the Market to re-install, such as Sling player and Navigon GPS. How can I get those to appear?
[Epic 4G Android Development] littlepr:
Don't flash the DK05 modem that is out there or you will lose you GPS. I ran into the same issue and had to Odin flash the Epic.stock.DI18.tar file created by firon. Then once I had GPS working I ran the latest one click with clockwork included. Once that was set and tested to be working, I flashed the Quantum DK05 rom. The only issue I have is already known...camera button not activating camera.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mcdavid:
Maybe that is the problem I am having... see my post just before yours. The problkem now is that I am trying to flash back the stock modem and I am getting an error in Clockwork Mod. How can I flash back to get stock modem?

I think they will show up once you get all this squared away. Did you see the UPDATE I posted (post #690)? Try loading the modem only zip using your current setup. If it fails then use the Odin flash steps. I'm trying to save you the hassle to have to go through it all. I hope it works but I can't guarantee it.

You're welcome. BTW, don't say never. We just have to be patient until the chefs get the source code for the beta builds and the kernel.

[Epic 4G Android Development] mcdavid:
Roger on the apps issue. I switched back to Epic Experience ROM and am having the same issue with GPS :mad: Until I started playing with the froyo ROMs, I never had a GPS issue. I use nav apps all the time. I'm going to reflash to stock again and see if the GPS problem is still there. Each time I flash, I wipe data and cache 3X. I don't understand why these GPS issues started and I wish I could figure out how to get it working again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] littlepr:
How about Davlic? Did you wipe?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mcdavid:
prob not (I have before), but I don't do it as consistently as the data and cache wipes. You think that is the difference?

I always wipe for all three. Once you get it back t stock go outside and take drive for a test. I'm going to do the same. I'm going to get me something to grub on. Be back in 10 minutes.
