Performed all the steps on the first post. ( This isn't my first rodeo ) I honestly don't know why I can't a GPS lock on any roms that use the DK28 modem + pit. I love the Epic experience and been using it 90% of the time on my Epic but ever since the new DK28 came out I am dying to use 2.2.1 and cannot get a GPS lock. My voice, data 3G/4G, Wifi, and ALL apps work fine but I cannot seem to get a GPS lock on Google Maps or Google Navigation or any location based apps (news&weather, gowalla, foursquare, places)

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sloheim:
Several of us have had success by Odining back to DI18, verifying that GPS is working, then Odining back to DK28 again. No explanation as to why, but it DOES seem to work for several of us.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thehustleman:
I was unable to get GPS lock until I did the following:

ODIN'd back to DI18

Get GPS lock (Via Google maps)

ODIN'd DK28

Get GPS lock (Via Google maps)

Flash EE Rom

Get GPS lock (Via Google maps)

Restore from any backups (Nanndroid, etc.)

It may seem like a lot but I now get near instant (less than 2 seconds) GPS locks with the DK28 roms! This was the ONLY thing that worked for me. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] popularbelief420:
Thank you both for this good info. I left my laptop at home today but will try this when I get back to the man cave. I have been provisioning voice, data, and WIFI after Odin'ing back to DI18 but have not provisioned GPS. I will follow these steps and report back with results.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MojoSwag:
Anybody got a link for just the SprintZone and samsung widgets that are compatible with dk28?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sewhuy:
I honestly wished I used this method a lot sooner. Literally took me less than 10 minutes to get my phone this awesome.
[Epic 4G Android Development] popularbelief420:
what is that second screenshot?

perfect! i'll add it to my app brain list for later.

It glows green, right? I noticed that too, but after I re-applied battmod4-DK28, it went back to the plain green circle =/
[Epic 4G Android Development] sloheim:
So I've been messing around with the stock email app for the better part of the morning.

When I set up this app (under Eclair), I set it up with several email accounts.. my corporate (exchange) email, a yahoo account, a roadrunner account, etc.

I deleted the exchange account under Settings/Accounts... but I still couldn't access my other email accounts.

Now I'd like to delete all other accounts, but I can't... it FCs every time I go into the Email program and select "Accounts". AFAIK, this is the ONLY place I can access the email accounts on my phone (the other accounts.. yahoo, RR, etc dont show under Settings/Accounts).

So I guess my question is this.. ANY idea where it stores the properties for the email account? I'm guessing mine is missing or corrupted. I'd be happy to replace the existing file with a blank (non-configured) one and start over again. I just have NO idea where it stores these properties.

Any help would be greatly appreciated... thanks schizo.
[Epic 4G Android Development] acesup_11:
I think I bricked my GPS

I was on EE for eclair and everything was fine

Please help me out.

Any word on getting rid of the 270 rotation from froyo? At least making it a flashable option so those of us who think it's annoying can get rid of it?

Also, what's the possibility of getting the puzzle unlock?

One more thing, I'm currently on 2.0.03, and when my battery runs out, the phone gets stuck in this weird loop where it will show the S breaking apart, then it'll vibrate a few times, then the screen goes back to the lockscreen with a black background, then it tries to shut down again and it starts all over again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Kangster82:
I get the same cycling when the battery runs out. Or i did. Im on .04 but haven't gotten a chance to reset the battery stat.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kgbcapthowdy:
for 2.0.4 coming from 2.0.3, do i need to wipe or just flash over? I just calibrated my battery 2 days ago do i need to do again with 2.0.4
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
Once we find a way to get rid of this, I'll be right on it. It annoys the hell outta me. I hate the 270 rotation.
[Epic 4G Android Development] timberwolf671:
Same holds true here. Found that I didn't have GPS in DK17, then flashed to DK28 and got the samething, no GPS. Flash back to DI18 stock with modem, got a GPS fix in Goggle Maps. Then flash DK28 with modem and GPS works fine.:confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
Just flash it overtop.

You only need to redo your calibration if you're changing kernels.
[Epic 4G Android Development] engine95:
Linpack, which seems to be a more accurate "real-world" test is 13.9 for me. Quadrant score of 1025. But...if you watch the actual Quadrant test run with those 2000+ Roms, the time it takes is the same. Take this with a grain of salt, but that lag fix jacked up the Quad scores but the phone didn't seem any faster. IMO!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
how was that disrespectful? its a fact, it is force closing, for a number of people, I remember one of the things said when people asked why we weren't going to froyo right away was that stability was above all else. the rom has gone from most stable, to less stable than others now. I use this rom daily, I'd just like to see it working with touchwiz launcher that I much prefer over launcher pro.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
if you read my comments, I've installed 5 times already, wiped each time, and without fail, the force closes start again, I mention the viperrom only because that one isn't force closing on me. touch wiz worked fine all day. So I'd say that would be somewhat helpful. I'm gonna try it again, starting from scratch and see what happens.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fatonuseni:
Thanks for the answer on the mms app.

I flashed the 2.0.0.1 rom onto of the 1.30 rom before it was renamed.

Having problems with install apps. Apps download but the phone modem resets when it try's to install, also I get random vibrations from the phone during the install.

The lock screen also defaults back to the original pull down lock screen when I get a text message.

Gonna wipe and reset to the stock froyo and reflash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] engine95:
Been using 2.0 all day. Half with Touchwiz and the rest of the day with LauncherPro. My GPS, Camera, work fine and any Launcher force closes, hasn't happened yet. Dunno what's up, but as far as all the Froyo ROMS out there, this one takes the cake for me.

Great Rom Schizo!!! Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] defdot80:
ditto on that, same vibration and installs that are failing. let us know if you need any info.
[Epic 4G Android Development] riceknight:
Same exact thing thats happening to me. Can't install anything. Not sure what the problem is, but looks like I'm wiping and returning to my backup.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
Anyone got hulu working on this great rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] plumsicle:
I am having a similar issue.

I am trying to install apps. when i click the app to install, either from the market or off my SD Card, it vibrates once. while installing, it vibrates 3 times quickly and then screen goes blank. It comes back with no service, gets service and no program installed.

Another issue is that, when i install launcher pro.

Restart, Launcher Pro will come back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] defdot80:
for the people with the market installs, how much battery are you flashing with?
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
6th install, actually 7th I think at this point, so far no force closes, but I haven't tried to restore any apps from titanium yet. We can do that right? shouldn't be an issue?

also, can we use the mobile hotspot? IE, we don't get charged if we try it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fatonuseni:
i was at 60%
[Epic 4G Android Development] plumsicle:
i'm runing full battery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] defdot80:
i was at 50% , just trying to see the difference and root cause for the market issue, seems stable and smooth other then the market.
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic_image:
im getting FC when i try to go in to brightness under settings. anyone else?
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
Fcing again on tw, nothing except titanium backup installed
[Epic 4G Android Development] gtuansdiamm:
auto rotate is kinda messed up i think

when ever it is possible all apps will go to landscape mode

even if i hold my phone in the portrait way

i tried to calibrate my phone but it didn't make a difference
[Epic 4G Android Development] sloheim:
Mine is working fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gtuansdiamm:
No works fine for me
[Epic 4G Android Development] sloheim:
You installed a day 1 ROM. There are inherent risks with doing so. If stability is your primary concern, give it a week or two to weed itself out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] acesup_11:
Also downloaded both GPS test programs and they show the GPS as on but nothing else.
[Epic 4G Android Development] acesup_11:
Just odin to DI18 10 times in a row finally got a lock... sigh go figure.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mlee0921:
by "locking gps" do you guys mean getting gps location, or getting location to be within a certain amount of meters? i get gps but it's always within 30 meters. is this fix to get it under 10 meters??
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
I updated my modem from DI18 to DK28 last night, tried the GPS and it got as accurate as 23 feet (in GPS test). I think that's good enough for me. I was also running Epic Experience - Eclair when I upgraded the modem (Not sure if that matters, really). I haven't even used GPS up until I got the Froyo EE rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Migital Warfare:
Thank god. I'm right there with you on the hate train.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sloheim:
Bag this.. I figured out how to wipe data via Titanium Backup.. voila, everything is working. Thanks anyhow.
[Epic 4G Android Development] knock.back:
So I'm loving froyo, and this is the most stable rom I've tried so far, but my battery life is horrible... on 2.1 runing ee and phoenix id get 32+ hours and now I'm getting 8...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Migital Warfare:
I've tried a few different players (Doubletwist, PowerAmp and Cubed) and haven't found one that I actually like. Doubletwist works best with the Doubletwist desktop app, but the mac version of the software is very buggy. PowerAmp keeps FCing on me. Cubed has a terrible interface.

I've been using the Miui Music player ported to the Epic for the last couple days, and have to admit, it's a pretty solid app. Who else thinks this might be a good addition to EE?

[Epic 4G Android Development] Migital Warfare:
I have the same problem, but all should be fine once the source is released and kernels can be developed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
Gonna try this app out, havent checked it out just yet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ogrillion:
Not sure if its the rom or a phone defect, I haven't had this happen on DI18 before.

First time happened when the battery was low. Second time was at night with a 50% full battery. But basically the phone is in standby for a bit hit the power button and the screen won't light up. If I slide the keyboard the keyboard lights up but still no screen.

Only fix is pull the battery. Anyone have this? Bad phone maybe?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Migital Warfare:
I haven't had that happen. I know there was a screen delay or something with the first froyo leak, maybe that hasn't been fully fixed yet? Maybe it was something odd that happened when you odin'd froyo onto your phone? Either way, I doubt it's your phone. The only way to really check is to go back to stock 2.1 and see if it still does it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ogrillion:
Yeah I will have to see I flashed 2.0.04 if it happens again tonight I will go back to stock 2.1 (cry lol) And see. It's just annoying to test because it seems so random.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Migital Warfare:
I really like the way they implement the lyrics, and I also like the real time audio level animation at the bottom of the screen. Not a huge fan of the purple, but it's not terrible. The overall design is pretty nice
[Epic 4G Android Development] drivenapollo:
I have had this happen to my phone once so far. Not sure what caused it. It was just sitting in my pocket for an hour while i was driving. Got out and tried to turn it on, and it wouldn't. I also had to do a battery pull. But that has only happened once like i said so far.
[Epic 4G Android Development] drivenapollo:
I am not having any issues with battery life yet. i had 40% left after 14 1/2 hours yesterday. I also turn off my 3g all day.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
For those who hate the 270 degree rotation (like I do.) Best solution I have found is setting 'quick settngs' to long press search key. Put the auto sceen rotaion toggle at the top of the list. This way I can just leave roation off most of the time (never did this b4 but the 270 is so touchy) and quickly turn it on when needed. Hope this helps someone ;-)

ive had it happen a few times since i got the phone. just hit volume up+camera+power. resets the phone without taking the damn cover off
[Epic 4G Android Development] MaxPatlick:
If there's any sort of democracy going on here (note: I don't believe there is, but im posting anyway) I'd like to vote in favor of keeping the 270 degree rotation..

I likes it.

A lot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
If I take it out (when we can) I'll try to make a flashable zip to keep it, but by default it will be taken out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ogrillion:
Omg tytytytytytytytytyty.

I have seidio case and it's a ***** to remove.
[Epic 4G Android Development] randomrobbi:
using GTG TW Launcher

I replaced the stock TWLauncher3.0 apk file with one of the GTG TW Launcher's - I just like having the smaller icons at the bottom and having 5 - plus it removes the ugly background colors.

Problem i am seeing now - not that its a dealbreaker - is that on the stock lockscreen in this rom. my wallpaper is no longer centered on the lockscreen.

Which is fine for my current wallpaper.

Just wanted to throw this out there in case anyone has any insight. The wallpaper i am using is androidcentrals Lloyd Wallpaper. Before the TW Lock screen covered his head - now it looks like he is just peaking from the right side...which looks cool - and its centered on my launcher.

Just wondering if schizo or anyone else had any insight to this.

and once again you rock schizo and +1 to Ditching 270 degree if its possible - I HATE IT!
[Epic 4G Android Development] mictek:
I like it also. I'll end up just editing the build.prop and put it back in like the other roms.
[Epic 4G Android Development] randomrobbi:
I dont think it's in the build.prop in froyo - but i could be wrong. i think that is why it's hard to remove in froyo unlike 2.1
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
Correct.

Got home and been working on it all night. Playing the flash game. No dice

Maybe if I have ten hours to flash it over and over and test it out something will happen but I am going back to Epic Experience 2.1 until the official release comes out. I tried and failed. Thank you all for the great info.

Have you tried btunes. Its pretty nice.has an ipod/iphone interface to it. Has a pretty nice widget too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] shadie452:
For some reason after flashing this I have no notification sounds and facebook doesn't work at all.

Edit: looks like it was due to restoring my data back up. Reflashed and its all better :) Great ROM!
[Epic 4G Android Development] showmrock:
Running EE with latest modem and my 3G drops randomely. I have to restart it or wait a few minutes before it comes back on. Didn't do this with eclair and I properly wiped the device before installing ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
Did you wipe 3 times inside of Clockwork recovery? It's recommended to wipe 3 times before flashing any ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] warlar12:
any idea if/when a gps fix will be out for use with this rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] victorhuang20:
I noticed now that my 3g also drops randomly too. Have to restart it. I did wipe cache and data 3x too. Happened in .3 and happens in .4
[Epic 4G Android Development] suzook:
SAME here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Migital Warfare:
Had this happen to me last night around 50%, pulled the battery, and when it booted back up, battery was at 37%. My battery has also been calibrated since making the switch to froyo. Something isn't right here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] keywestpirate:
where is the link for the download, i would love to try this rom out, i have tested ,just about all the roms i can find, right now i am running (froyo dj29) with kernel 2.6.32.9, it is pretty good , but has it problems with the gps,
[Epic 4G Android Development] GrooveTonic:
Interestingly enough, I have have had ZERO issues with my GPS since loading EE. It's getting a lock indoors in seconds.

But the WiFi is another story. Often it refuses to connect because it gets perpetually stuck in "obtaining ip from", without the AP name mentioned. The whole "WiFi is on but not connected" warning gets stuck sometimes too.

The only thing to do is turn off WiFi via settings (the announcement area toggle doesn't help), then turn back on. Sometimes a reboot is necessary as the WiFi refuses to shut down.

Anyone else experiencing this? Fyi, I flashed to the OTA, then wiped 3 times before installing EE.

Otherwise, things have been awesome so far. Loving this rom. Awesome job!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Migital Warfare:
It's only recommended if major changes are done to the ROM between versions. Schizo marks which ROMs need your phone wiped before installing with an asterisk.
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
Most likely I'm thinking the 3G issues with dropping are from restoring data, at least that's my theory.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Angsuman:
This has happened to me both on DI18 and DI28.
[Epic 4G Android Development] knock.back:
Can we add a transparent notification pull down? I think those look really cool...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Lonewuhf:
I just flashed this rom about 30 mins ago, and since then I've been getting an error. "The application Swype (process com.swype.android.inputmethod) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

I turned off swype and then I got the same error for the android keyboard. If I disable the android keyboard I get the error: "The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Edit: Reflashed it and everything is working great now.

so I finally got everything to work for me. took a couple reflashes. not really caring about the gps that much but I don't get a good lock. also, it still takes a while for my homescreen to load after exiting an app. and the 270 is annoyng. also, is there any way to change the sms/mms bubble colors? blue and yellow aren't that nice.
[Epic 4G Android Development] slikkstar:
Does Swype still work with this ROM?

And if so are there any updates above 1.6 yet?
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
Swype still works. Ill look into seeing if it can be updated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] slikkstar:
Awesome thanks!

Also, I'm going over the flashing instructions and it says I need the DK17 file.. Do I just replace that file with the DK28 file or no?
[Epic 4G Android Development] formula84:
DK28 has version 2.11 in it, not sure what the dif is but it works well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jacoby6000:
Does anyone else have an issue with the unlock screen (with a pattern password) having dead spots temporarily in certain areas? The issue usually lasts until i lock/unlock again. but never persists past the unlock screen (maybe it's setCPU?)

also wifi taking forever to enable?

[Epic 4G Android Development] drivenapollo:
I have the same thing happen to my phone when I do the 3 button reboot. I loose 20-30% battery instantly. Not sure why but its somehow gone. I can reboot normally or plug in with the phone shut off and it keeps saying the battery lost that much. If I do a reboot from the power button I don't loose it. Really weird. I have reflashed multiple roms and it always happens. No restore of data on those reflashes either. So I always just reboot through the system. My battery actually last longer. Plus I have more battery after flashing new stuff.

Kernel recommendations/setting?
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
There aren't any custom kernels for Froyo yet so you'll just have to stick with DK28's kernel.

Volume / Speaker Glitch

Hey all...Using EE 2.0.03. Three times now, the volume has dropped to an estimated 20% of full volume. Whether it's the ringer, the media, or the alarm, the speaker volume is very quiet, even when set for the highest settings.

I can confirm it's not a hardware problem. It does not exist when flashed to DI18 and also goes back to normal full volume immediately with a soft reset.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

I already tried reflashing 2.0.03....might just grab 2.0.04 to see if it helps, but I wanted some verification I wasn't crazy....

Thanks!!
