My experience

Just wanted to say thank you for all the work you have put into this project so far.

I followed the directions flashed the stock rom, cleared the data 3x and that dalvik cache and the cache partition. Installed 2.0.0 cleared everything and then 2.0.1.

GPS worked great, and I even was able to use just Cell Signal location which doesn't work in 2.1 for me. However whenever I tried to download something off the market it would vibrate, get to install then sorta soft reset. Like has been posted already.

I then reflashed stock again, cleared data 3x installed 2.0.0 didn't clear and then installed 2.0.1, still had market place issues but again no GPS. So anyways I flashed back to 1.2 for now.

If I missed something, like another way to flash that maybe would fix the market stuff let me know. But I figure I will just wait for the chief to post his newest version.

*edit* Oh ya to rule out SD card issues I reformatted that as well, didn't matter.

Thanks again!

Your talking about the hard keyboard right? I have also noticed I am making more missed letter typos since upgrading.

I just took my case off my phone cuz it broke, and the phone feels very different without it, so I just chalked it up to that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sirens6:
Just tried flashing this rom and must be missing a step. I have dk17 modem and pit flashed through odin, flashed rom afterward with cwm and all I get is the samsung.com boot screen that just keeps rebooting. What am I missing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MLHickey:
This is a known problem with all epics that supposedly is a hardware issue. I've experienced it since the day I got the phone and it's very annoying. I'm not sure what the "fixed stock keyboard" note in his update notes means, but i assume it's not this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Koadic:
My only suggestion would be to do what you did the first time (where you got the gps to work), then if the market/vibrate/reboot issue is present, go back to clockwork and flash the rom again (and again until it is gone). I have had this happen on two different DK17 roms, and was able to get rid of it by just reflashing the same rom again after clearing data/cache (and only needed to reflash once), and not even sure if that was necessary to clear the data/cache, as I was just reflashing the same rom directly on top of a freshly flashed rom anyway.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
Has anyone else ben geting lag on the screen rotation? I had this same problem with 270 turned on with any 2.1 rom.

Basicly it lags for anywhere to .5 sec and up (with 3 seconds being avg) till it changes. Also just seems super jittery and likes to go to one side or the other at the slightest hint of leaning my phone to one side. I hate it!

Same exact thing with 270 before so I assume this is the cause. I did read that 270 was "stock" in froyo.

Any ideas? Or at least anyone know of a way to turn 270 off? I know its not in the build prop anymore.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
try this:

1. Download a terminal app from the market

2. Enter one line at a time.

su

/system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha

3. Follow the onscreen directions, while making sure you device is flat.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
Did this. Still having the same 3(ish) sec lag.
[Epic 4G Android Development] konaman:
I went from 2.1 to this and after flash and reboot all I get is a black screen and it randomly vibrates

and yes i wiped and all that 3 times
[Epic 4G Android Development] drivenapollo:
I changed my background to show a friend live wallpapers and lost that speaker grill looking one. I don't wanna reflash to get it back. Could someone tell me where to find it? Its simple but I really liked it. Thank you

Sent from my Epic 4G
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
In Launcher Pro when you hit change wallpaper, instead of choosing live wallpaper choose wallpaper gallery. Should be the second one there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] netengineer:
I followed the instructions to a 'T' in the first post and only had one issue. The SMS from sprint when a voice mail comes in. I did the replacement procedure and has worked perfect. I have not had any GPS issues at all. In fact I noticed that every phone 'including this one' has dropped calls on a stretch of road I drive on every time.... until I upgraded, I have not had one drop.

Great work on the ROM.

FYI I went straight to 2.0.0.1
[Epic 4G Android Development] jjjjayd13:
ETA?

ETA?

TIA,

[Epic 4G Android Development] sewhuy:
Is it still necessary to kill drm for the froyo roms for better battery life?
[Epic 4G Android Development] entropism:
Flashed this yesterday, and I've been having two problems:

Any time I go to change the notification tone on the alarm clock, it locks the phone up completely. I tried downloading an alarm app from the market and it did the same thing.

Youtube gives me an error saying that I have no network connection and cannot start.

Anyone have any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MaxPatlick:
I'm having the same problem. Also, my compass no longer finds true north, so stuff like sky maps and street view don't work properly.

nevermind, both of these problems went away when my phone was fully charged this morning.. *shrug*
[Epic 4G Android Development] crodgers79:
Hey Schiz - just wondering as well

Hey Schiz,

I'm off of work today and it's one of the very few days that I have some time to myself so I was wondering what your ETA was for your next drop. I'm in Maryland so we're both in the same time-zone.

Just curious...

Chris R.
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
Going to send out my final revision to my testers and if all goes well then it should be later today.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sirens6:
i currently have ACSyndicate Loaded ROM 1.0.2, eXtreme kernel 1.2, emotionless beast theme, and used odin to flash the DK17 modem and PIT. Can anyone tell me what to do now?
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
I'd recommend using Odin to go to Froyo stock before you flash to Epic Experience Froyo.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rhyme187:
best results if you odin then:

WiPe--->(do these 3 times)

dalvik cache

battery stats

clear cache

and factory reset
[Epic 4G Android Development] rhyme187:
seriously tho....
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
How did u factory reset after u did the stages above?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ogrillion:
I did not have any lag when rotating. Really odd how we all have the same phone, but all these different issues
[Epic 4G Android Development] sirens6:


I have not used odin to flash froyo stock, only to flash modem and PIT can you tell me the steps to odin froyo stock?
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
They're in the first post.

Instructions
[Epic 4G Android Development] MLHickey:
Hey Schizo what exactly do you mean by "fixed stock keyboard" in the change log?
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
The original stock keyboard (aka LatinIME.apk) didn't do automatic auto-correct or fill in a "." after hitting the space bar twice. The new one now works.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MLHickey:
Ok thanks! Have you been able to look into the "missed keys" problem that people have been experiencing? Someone suggested it might be a problem with the buffer. It seems that it's most prevelant when Swype is enabled.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ochuni3:
quick question is anybody else having this issue: for some reason my phone is playing my ringtone or any notification through the front speaker (were u put your ear) instead of playing through the back speaker and i think it does once i connect to bluetooth or i put something in the 3.5 jack im running 2.0 can someone help me plz
[Epic 4G Android Development] ochuni3:
And by the way once I reeboot the phone the back speaker starts working again
[Epic 4G Android Development] jirafabo:
haha I can confirm this problem on mine too. took me about 10 force closes last night until I just gave up and stuck with that annoying default alarm sound.

also the other problem I have is in stock browser when I select the bookmarks button on top right it force closes on me. however, my shortcuts to booksmarks in LP work fine, even the swipe feature that i have set up to get to bookmarks list works. just not in browser.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ramrod2002:
I 2nd the lag issue on rotating the phone. I don't think it was like this when I first installed EE froyo, not sure what happened.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
Thinking about going bck to EE 1.0.9 with phenoix kernel. Even after a battery calbration I am getting far worse life outa my epic. Added to the fact I am super unimpressed with 2.2 in general.

Not complaining or blameing the dev though! Its a beta with no custom kerel yet.

To go back do I have to odin back to the old modem or can I leave the dk17 modem and factory reset then wipe then flash?
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
You can use the new modem, just not the new kernel, so you should be good.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sgbdeals:
I still can't get the market to work on mine. I did this:

Wipe--->(3 times)

dalvik cache

battery stats

clear cache

I originally tried going to 2.0.00 then went to 2.0.01. After that I went to the Quantum ROM and the market worked fine with that ROM. I then tried the wipe / davlik / cache thing and then applied 2.0.01 again.

Still have market issues with the Epic (which I prefer over Quantum).

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] sgbdeals:
Ok...some add'l information.

It's not the Market that I am having problems with. I tried to install an apk that was already on my sd card and the phone rebooted. So the problem is with installs.

Any ideas on why I can not install anything on this ROM vs others?

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
You need to make sure you install 2.0.00 first, then 2.0.01 or else your phone will have these reboot problems.

---------

On a side note, I think the next version should be ready tonight as long as no big problems are found. I'm about to be going to work but when I get home I will post the update.
[Epic 4G Android Development] adamw1101:
I want to use this rom I just did a fresh flash and fixed my gps if I flash this rom will it break the gps fix?
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
The new version will have an even better GPS fix in it. I've been getting up to 5 meters accuracy with the latest version.
[Epic 4G Android Development] adamw1101:
But flashing the current rom won't bresk it right? I have to drive 300 miles tomorrow so I need a working gps
[Epic 4G Android Development] drivenapollo:
I know this belongs in general and I posted it there. But I wanted to share this with all the people here on EE for helping me out with everything, and for Shiz building this EPIC rom.

Gameloft is giving away free games for apple, google devices all this month. Everyday is a new free game. The last 2 days were apple games, and today is a free HD game for android. Its dungeon Hunter. Its pretty much a Diablo II game for Android. Very good game, very smooth, played it for 2 hours so far today! lol Here is the link to get your free copy. http://j.mp/hV584b go to this link on your phone to download directly. It is available for 24 hours only. They had some issues with downloads today, and extended it for another 24. Hurry and get it while you can.

Its only a 4mb download initially. After you start the game it downloads 181mb file to your sd card. Just wanted to warn everyone. Not sure if you can download the big file on 3g or not. I used wifi.

Sorry for interrupting the normal rom, but I wanted to share something good with everyone. It works perfect on EE froyo. Follow gameloft on twitter. Its the only place there announcing the games.

Thanks again for all the hard work on this rom. I hope you all enjoy
[Epic 4G Android Development] sgbdeals:
This is what I originally did (and just did again). Still no luck. Anytime an install begins, it vibrates one short and then 2 short vibrates a few seconds later. Then it reboots.
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
Try wiping then install 2.0.00 then install 2.0.01 on top.

All these reboot issues should be gone in the new version.
[Epic 4G Android Development] godkillax:
My Install Experience

I wiped and Installed 2.0.01 and I had the reboot issue when trying to install from the Market so I fixed it by doing this.

Wipe the phone x3

Install 2.0.0

Reboot

Install 2.0.01

Reboot

And now the Market works.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sloheim:
Interesting... I just got 51 hours of life out of my last charge while calibrating. Most time I've ever gone between charges.
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
Battery has been great for me on Froyo.
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
It shouldn't mess anything up, but don't quote me on it. There's just a ton of factors.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Wilsonb:
I was also experiencing the Reboots...

So I reimaged the firware Froyo and will TRY to PATIENTLY ;-) wait for the update tonight....:)

schizopunk, thanks for all your talent and work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] platinum27x:
Josh how are the testers liking the new version? P.s. did you get my donation a couple days ago?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikel719:
I have a question.

I'm at work till tomorrow night so I can't get to a computer, I have the dk17 modem but im running your ee 2.1 rom with the phoenix kernel. My question is, do I have to reflash with odin for optimal performance then flash the 2.0 froyo rom, boot, then flash the 2.0.1 on top of it? Or can I simply flash the 2.0 rom, boot up then flash the 2.0.1 rom since I have the DK17 modem already?

I flashed using odin then went to stock 2.0 froyo then tried some froyo roms but went back to your ee eclair rom. Just looking for feed back to get back to froyo with minimal hassles. Thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
I'd wait for the new release later tonight, you'll just need to wipe & flash only one thing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikel719:
Thanks! Can't wait to try the new rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
I don't get it. I have gotten horrible battery life on froyo. Even calibrated the bttery. Changed nothing else since 2.1..

Gonna try the new release and recalibrate the battery again.. hrm hate battery problems
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikel719:
Another thing I forgot to ask was, is it the same process as before? Flash 2.0 first then the new release tonight? Or is this going to be able to boot without having to flash it on top of 2.0?
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
This will be a stand alone release. Fixed all the reboot issues and everything, only thing is that a wipe will be required for this update.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikel719:
Sweet!

This mite possibly up soon?
[Epic 4G Android Development] randomrobbi:
Schizo,

Any ideas why I'm getting gallery FC's with 2.0.1

Looking forward to the new release so I'm sure it wont be a problem in that version. I would be more than happy to test for you as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
Typing up the change log now. Should be up soon.
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
Version 2.0.02

Here it is!

Change Log

I cannot stress enough with this release that you will need to WIPE cache and data. I don't normally say you need to do this but since this has been built from the ground up, it is required. If you decided to try to flash the new version without wiping you'll most likely run into a lot of force closes.

With all that out of the way, I really hope you guys enjoy the new version!
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikel719:
Thank you!

Downloading now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] CO pitbull:
Trying your ROM for the first time. Been running Viper. Hope all the hype is true, looking forward to it. Thanks for all the Hard Work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rhyme187:
HeY BRO Should BETA people on pre 04 down this latest one or is it the same one?
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
Its basically the same thing, just changed the tags in the build.prop.

I dont think theres any other changes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rhyme187:
sweet so u sayin keep the pre 04 right lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
Yeah, haha, basically.

Just looked and their the same size.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ogrillion:
downloading now, *excited!*

Thanks for all your hard work
[Epic 4G Android Development] fastmikey1969:
Sweet downloading now.

Is the framework still the same, can I still use the battery mod %?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikel719:
This rom would not boot for me. I have the DK17 modem, I am running EE Eclair with the Phoenix kernel 1.43. When I downloaded EE froyo 2.0.02 it downloaded fine. I went in to clock work recovery and wiped data 3x then wiped cache 3x then delvick 3x. However when I click on reboot it will flash the samsung.com then go dark then flash the samsung.com again, then when it goes off the second time it boots into stock recovery. Any ideas shizo? I won't be able to get to a computer till sat after 2pm so if not I'm stuck till then.
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
You should be able to.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rckozma:
Pretty sure if you are on eclair you will need to Odin froyo first then flash this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
Yeah, most likely. I think in order for everything to work you need to Odin to 2.2.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ogrillion:
All I gotta say is holy hell awesom man. Great job!!!

Evrything so far works amazingly (including market and camera woooohooo)

Also best gps I have seen with this phone, 9/10 satalites with a 3m accuracy.

Instant lock and this was all in doors believe it or not

Bravo thanks. Going to bed but will play with it more tomorrow.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikel719:
Ok I'll wait till I'm of work then.

First to download and I still have to wait 15 hours now:(
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
Sweet! Yeah the GPS is crazy good now for me too. One of my testers said it still wasnt working for him, so like I said your results may vary, but I'm glad to see its working well for you!

Enjoy the Epic Experience! ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] sewhuy:
Confirming that's 3m and not 30m?
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
Most likely, yes. I've been getting results like that today. between 5-7 meters for me.

EDIT: [Inside as well]
[Epic 4G Android Development] vince06:
great rom. so far the only two issues i seem to be having are slow screen rotations and gps not really performing like it should ("accurate to 2700 meters").

any suggestions on what to do? can't wait until 2.2 is finally released
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
What are your GPS settings?

As for the screen rotation, its still buggy cause its a leaked beta. I hope we soon find out how to disable this whole 270 thing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vince06:
use wireless networks and use gps satellites are checked. i think i remember u saying to leave sensor aiding unchecked. either way its no biggie i don't really use gps just posting what my issues are. im sure everything will be working great once something official comes from sprint
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
How long are you waiting for the GPS to lock?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MojoSwag:
I wiped 3x on all cache and dalvik and after I installed and restored my data I get fc's on EVERYTHING! I'm coming over from the previous ee rom. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
Coming from Eclair or Froyo?

One thing I'd recommend doing is this.

-Flash the ROM

-Restore data (through clockwork)

-Flash the ROM again

This will most likely help overwrite anything thats being carried over from previous builds that are causing FCs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vince06:
really not sure. just as long as it takes. i open maps and hit my location and then it just stays on that no matter how long i wait. but like i said its no big deal to me
[Epic 4G Android Development] fastmikey1969:
Just flashed the battery % mod, so far so good. And my touchscreen is still there! (had this problem on EE v1)
[Epic 4G Android Development] MojoSwag:
I'm coming from your previous version 2.0.1

Edit: okay I got the fc's from all the apps that were installed on my ed card.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sloheim:
GPS still not working for me... bummer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] adamw1101:
To anyone who has a working gps does this rom break it
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
Yes, wondering the same, because my GPS is rock solid right now and don't want any mods to "fix" it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] drrayl:
Which% battery mod are you using?

Everything seems to be working great! I actually got a gps lock the first time ever inside my house!
[Epic 4G Android Development] MojoSwag:
Hey is this a modified touchwiz 3.0? I noticed that with this build I no longer get the notification bubbles over my default icons like I did before
[Epic 4G Android Development] ogrillion:
Yes 3 meters
[Epic 4G Android Development] adamw1101:
So to confirm your gps was unaffected by flashing this rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sleeth7:
Currently running 2.0.02 and I can confirm that gps is performing like a champ. Usng gpstest I am getting 9 ft accuracy INDOORS! My gps has been working fine since ver 2.0.00 with about 15-20 ft. accuracy. The current rom only makes it better.
[Epic 4G Android Development] adamw1101:
One more question I'm running quantum rom can I just flash the newest version or do I have to flash 2.0.0 first?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Djinn23:
I think he is saying it was affected... positively affected
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikesal57:
Hi Schiz..

can we restore data from eclair back-ups?

thxs

sorry its first line of your post..just making sure
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
Nope, no need to flash previous versions anymore. Just be sure to wipe cache & data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
I'm not positive if you can or not. If you wanna try it feel free to just follow the instructions I posted.
[Epic 4G Android Development] platinum27x:
Wow I never knew my gps wasn't working until now I mean it was tolerable before but it works in my house and I don't even barely get cell phone service in my house.. pretty awesome.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sleeth7:
You are correct sir... GPS was not adversely affected at all
[Epic 4G Android Development] setox:
........................
[Epic 4G Android Development] setox:
any update?
[Epic 4G Android Development] katanaram:
Yes, I wiped cache & data 3 times and installed the latest version without any issues. Everything works fine except my GPS and missing Samsung media hub app.

GPS is able to lock my location within a few secs with an accuracy of 20mtrs. But whenv I ask it to give me directions to a destination address, it keeps saying searching for GPS and remains stuck forever. I have turned both use wireless networks and use gps satellites options ON. Am I missing something?

Also why am I not able to find and install samsung media hub from market?
[Epic 4G Android Development] drrayl:
Were the ring tones removed from this rom?

Otherwise everything is working well!
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
I'm gonna add the ringtones as a zip later on.

Glad you guys are enjoying the ROM so far!
[Epic 4G Android Development] crodgers79:
Lost GPS: Uggghh!

Hi Schiz,

Followed your instructions to a "T" and using Odin and Stock DK17 everything worked fine. As soon as I loaded EE I lost GPS completely.

Looked in another thread and reset GPS cache and downloaded APGS data again also created the gps.conf file (or whatever it was called) as was suggested, rebooted and none of these fixes restored GPS.

I know this seems to be a Froyo-specific problem but what a PIA!

Any help that doesn't involve me starting all over from scratch would be most helpful!

Thanks!

Chris R.
