Lol ...well i was gonna wait to drop another update till i got certain things working, but i believe it's going to take a little longer than i anticipated, so i'm gonna release 2.8 either today or tomorrow... just keep checking back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] algorhythm:
I just flashed VIPERom 2.6 as my first Epic 4G rom. Great rom, but I have a huge issue. My 3G internet seems to just disappear. I see 3 bars on my screen, and my phone works (although voicemail says it is not set up?) but I have no internet access. Every internet page says it's down, and market says connection error.

What gives?

EDIT: It looks like my whole data service was down? I just rebooted and I had some pending SMS messages that did not get sent/received.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
You need to flash the modem. If you don't flash the modem, you won't have any data. Look for "Odin,DK17 PIT, & DK17 Modem" in the OP and download that. Then follow the instructions in post #2, Part 1.
[Epic 4G Android Development] algorhythm:
Oh the modem was the first thing I flashed. I had data, then suddenly lost it. Reboot brought it back. Happened twice so far. Totally lost my 3G icon.

Google navigation and maps

I did install dk17 2.6 beta, I can't find google maps and google navigation in the applications.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
that's because i removed them ...if you download "google maps" from the market, you'll get both maps and navigation out of it.

BThomas,

I do have one request. Is there any way you can see why NFS Shift doesn't load? I haven't gotten it to load on any of the beta's. I had it working on Eclair but doesn't want to load on Froyo
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Wipe the phone 3 times, and re-flash the ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Surely ...is there any way you can send me the APK?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sinman02:
A few requests for your next update:

1) Could you please incorporate the clockworkmod redirector by noobnl in to this rom?

2) Can you make the stay awake option under Application/Development stick after reboot?

3) Can you also incorporate art3mis-nyc's working camera fix to prevent camera from freezing after preview? It tried this separately and it worked great. It would be nice if it was included in your rom.

Thanks and please keep up the good work!

Have to chime in on this one with a "me too". Having the same problem:

Just to the left of the phone signal bars the 3G and arrows are typically there... then even in the middle of a download (or several from the market) it suddenly disappears and stops downloading.

Data just goes away and I have to reboot to get it back.

I'll limp along until I can flash 2.8 and we'll see how that is.

For the record.... I did the full 3 wipes and all b4 installing... it's just weird.

Your work is outstanding... this is just some sort of anomoly.

[Epic 4G Android Development] big3etr:
I have it loaded on every ROM and it works great! How do you have it installed?

did you install the .apk?

do you have a folder on your sdcard: ANDROID>DATA>com.ideaworks3d.nfsshift

The game is about 100MB. You have to have the com.ideaworks3d.nfsshift in that exact location on the sdcard or it will not play.

This folder contains a folder: FILES which contains the following files:

18 .mp3 files

gamedata

gamesett

NFSS_scm

res.dz

BTW, I just started the game, and most of the time I get a memory allocation error when playing the 4th and 5th track in the quick race section, well for the first time it played!!! WOOT WOOT. I am running VIPERrom 2.6 (with lagfix.zip installed)!!

BT another reason why I like your ROM's... Keep up the good work.

Let me know if this is how you have it installed or not.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:

hey btom , i'm a huge college football fan. i see espn bowl bound app advertised for the gayphone and android.. i see a qr code for the app on android online, i've requested a link texted to my phone, no matter what i do its just not in the market.. is there any way you could find the apk for me??

[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
The app is in Androlib.com. But when you scan the qr code, you get the app not found. Might have to google the apk if someone has it out there. The site says it has less than 50 downloads, so maybe most droids can't download it. Go figure.

GPS still doesn't work after flashing "the fix".
[Epic 4G Android Development] imwillzillla:
I've noticed that now my phone is running really sluggish. It isn't hot or anything it's just extremely slow now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] myphoneisepic:
you're a good man.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Reboot into recovery and clear the caches... I'm not sure why its happening but ill look into it... do you have either of the lagfixes installed?

Sent from my VIPERrom [TRiNiTY] DK17 2.8
[Epic 4G Android Development] imwillzillla:
Not a problem i'll try that. I have 2.6 and the lagfix apk that was included in one of the roms. I'll try the cache thing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Another way to fix it is to flash back to DI18, and open and lock your gps 2 times... then boot back into recovery, odin the modem and try to get the lock on that too... then wipe your caches and flash the rom and it should work... its just time consuming

Sent from my VIPERrom [TRiNiTY] DK17 2.8
[Epic 4G Android Development] J31Rob:
The speed is ballin'. My phone is running great. Except for the GPS that is.. also I had to reboot earlier today because everything was FCing. After reboot it was fine. I couldn't text, open xda app, call out. :shrug:
[Epic 4G Android Development] J31Rob:
Holy ****.. I flash ROMs to improve my phone. I'd rather break out the TomTom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] J31Rob:
You know man.. no offense, but don't you think you would get more kudos if you were to take action against this GPS issue rather than repeatedly updating your ROM? I mean, I've flashed almost all of them and NONE of them have had working GPS. It's like having a Rolls Royce with no steering wheel.

Like I said.. no offense man. I don't mean to step on toes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] makipsee:
my gps has been working from the start
[Epic 4G Android Development] J31Rob:
Thanks for your helpful reply. Mine hasn't worked since the first Froyo ROM I flashed (Mammon's v1.00).
[Epic 4G Android Development] makipsee:
lol sorry i dont mean 2 discourage
[Epic 4G Android Development] J31Rob:
Lol you're not bro, I'm just frustrated. I drive a truck 3 or so days a week.. I prefer the GPS on my phone as its not a semi with GPS included..
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
My GPS has been running also. Its a known problem in Froyo roms as I suppose you know since you said you had the issue before with Mammons ROM. As the modems improve I hope the GPS issue will affect fewer users. But in the mean time, there are plenty of us that appreciate the work the developers are doing to give all of us a better product. From what I have read some users have the same issue that have never rooted or used a non sprint ROM. So hang in there and don't become so discouraged as to offend those that are trying to help us all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] J31Rob:
I don't mean to offend BT at all, his ROMs are amazing. I'm just offering positive critisism. I can't imagine anyone could really disagree. He could be the first to go out of his way to make an app or flashable file that will actually fix the issue first time, no questions asked.
[Epic 4G Android Development] makipsee:
haha yea i hear ya on that
[Epic 4G Android Development] cjobanion:
If it helps any, once you have done all the steps to - and actually get - a gps lock in a Froyo rom, you shouldn't have to do it again with any of BT's Roms/updates.:D

It seems to be phone related with the Froyo betas. Some people (many) have issues and some people don't. I was one of the lucky ones who seems to actually have an Epic with no quirks.

The people in this thread are really helpful, though. Most problems/questions get a descriptive answer without a lot of brow beating!
[Epic 4G Android Development] littlepr:
That's how I had it. I went to make sure the files were in that folder but they MIA. I have no idea how they got wiped out of the folder. I have the .apk and the files you mentioned backed up on a portable flash. Reloaded and back in business.
[Epic 4G Android Development] J3ff:
You are doing something wrong. My gps was crap from day one. Then this lovely ROM and it's new modem came out.....and it has been flawless for two weeks! Spot on 10 seconds after I launch google maps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] J31Rob:
I only get a lock on wireless. No luck with satalites.
[Epic 4G Android Development] J3ff:
Yeah, that's how mine was when it was stock. Something has changed.

Anyway BT (OP)

Question:

In one of these roms (I think it was 2.2) you had it setup so that when you were at the home screen and you clicked "applications" the background picture faded, it didn't dissapear - it looked REALLY cool.

How come you got rid of that? Now on 2.6 when you click applications - the backround just goes to black....instead of showing the "wallpaper" image. :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilmikeyv:
Ok...so a bit confused...when I odined the dk17 modem I put the .tar file in the phone section...now I see a lot of people saying its supposed to go in the pda section...I don't seem to be having any problems...just hoping someone could enlighten me...which is correct? Thanks...and very sorry to the OP to be off track, but this is the only rom I use...thanks!

Is anyone having problems with the google search widget? I cannot type anything inside of it. I cannot search the internet unless I open web browser first. Please help....
[Epic 4G Android Development] guruleenyc:
Well I'll tell you this much, I can no longer tap on the magnifier button from a home-screen to do a local or google search; just doesn't respond or launch anything....

As far as the google search widget, it doesn't allow you move it and when you tap it to enter search criteria it allows one char and then keyboard disappears and doesn't allow more typing or an overwrite of the google watermark in the field.

In addition, it is not letting me remove the widget. Keeps reverting to add a new widget and switches to primary homescreen.
[Epic 4G Android Development] littlepr:
Yea. Same here but I added the google voice search and that works.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Skubidu:
I noticed the FC with the barcode scanner app AND a FC if you go into text-to-speech settings. Other than the random FCs, it's a good ROM and so far, it seems to be running at least 20% faster with the lagfix, IMOHP.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Muckrak3r:
What speeds are you guys getting on the Speedtest app? I had to un-root my phone as I couldn't stand the ridiculously slow upload speeds.. Flashed back to stock.... Sucks having Sprint bloatware, but I can browse the web and Market much faster! If the speeds in this are good, I will give it a try.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sryans2004:
Speeds with what?? 3g, 4g, or wifi?
[Epic 4G Android Development] imwillzillla:
I hear the speed readings on lagfix aren't exactly accurate, but the actual speed of the Rom is fantastic. Hulu has slight hiccups every once in a blue moon but other than that it runs pretty good. Much better than expected. I haven't noticed lockscreen lag or any of that either. You should give it a try.

[Epic 4G Android Development] imwillzillla:
If you updated Flash 10.1 in the market you're going to have to reflash the rom and make sure you do not update it and also make sure "update automatically" is not updated or Hulu wont work. As long as you've done that and have followed the directions, crossed your i's and dotted your T's you should be golden. I'm off to watch some Naruto on Hulu now...

Hi Guys...

i would just like one of these Froyo roms to work for me....:o

I would like my market to show my purchased app and to get GPS working

the latest EE rom did show my purchased app but no free ones that I had in Eclair thats ok..I can d/l them..Viper didnt show my app

I tried this and EE to get gps working..no go...

I've Odined stock rom and got GPS OK...in a fews mins I got the OTA update for the upload speed...gps still ok...

I odined the DK17 modem ..everything still ok...

Now do I flash froyo over this WITHOUT WIPEING or do I wipe??

thxs
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
