What are the benefits of partitioning my sd card with1 gb ext and 512 swap?
[Epic 4G Android Development] tpma4life:
Just a heads up I think this process should be simplified ala quantum or something. Nobody seems to have many answers, and for a newb like me I can't figure out what to do even following your install instructions to a T.

It won't let me load your zip files oin the new clockwork, which if I'm not mistaken also makes your system support ext 4, no?

I also cant find the link to the older version of clockwork. Sigh. Wish this was more organized ala the HTC forums. Yes, I did search, and the search function is not working all that well I suppose.

Patience young Padawan learner. We're trying to get a Wiki up so you don't have to filter through 3,000 posts.

If you're new, you probably won't be able to do much with the new clockworks, at least for now. Devs are busy at work, but they will be around to answer questions the rest of us can't.
[Epic 4G Android Development] raylusk:
This will install the older version of clockwork and it was stickied right at the top of this forum.

For most people the instructions work fine if you are using clockwork 2.5.0.

I like to partition my Sd card simply for the fact that i can put all my roms and addons on on side that can never be touched by a data wipe or sd reformatt. Some of these custom roms might wipe your sd card and other say its good to wipe it anyways to minimize getting line errors. I personally have mine partitioned and keep all my valuables on one and my system crap on the other cause if your a flasher like me i always reformatt my sd card. I do believe that when going to ext4 it also changes your SD card to work with that extension and it might minimize errors when you try to switch back and forth from one to another. The best play you can make in all instances is back it up on your pc and then you KNOW its not going anywhere. Hope i answered what you were looking for and im sure theres other benefits to it im not familiar with yet but i love learning about more ways so if you hear anything else let us know.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jemarent:
did you re flash from stock and get a gps lock at every step or were you just lucky enough to get it work right off the bat? I can't get a gps lock standing in the middle of a parking lot after ten mins

And by wifi, did you get the wifi tether to work correctly? If so, please explain.

These are the two features i'm really missing from running stock rom.

[Epic 4G Android Development] kenny782:
hey BT thanks for the new Rev this thing is fast! :-)

I have one question and a possile bug questions:

1) Since a2sd isn't support 4.x does anyone have a specific recommendation on an app in the marketplace? or just pick one of the 10,000 lol

2) When the phone boots up and Wifi is already on it connects to 3G. But it doesn't connect to my network automatically. If I toggle Wifi off and back on it connects automatically.

I'm not broadcasting my SSID if that matters.

I was running Bonsai4All and it was able to automatically connect upon bootup.

Thanks,

Kenny

as per suggestion from meetloaf, i will repost this. accidentally typed 'a' instead of 'b'. and any help on these matters would be appreciated.

flashed 4.0.2b about a week ago and I've noticed a few bugs.

when receiving a call and sliding the lock up to answer it, the unlock vader sound overlaps the call.

battery life is terrible, even after calibrating, everything minimalistic, and undervolted. doesn't even last half a day and all I do I text and facebook and xda.

upon rebooting, my angry birds apps and a few others dissapear on my homescreen and I have to open my app drawer and put the back on.

wifi is stuck on obtaining ip and never connects.

sometimes in full 3g and 4g coverage, I can't connect to internet. have to reboot in order to connect.

sometimes mms doesn't send.

gps doesn't fix and is stuck on search.

I'm sure I can think of more, I'm jut drawing a blank right now.

Ok so no matter how many times. I try to install 4A it fails, I have Odin'd to stock dk28 froyo, one lick root, and then I data wipe and cache wipe, delvik cache wipe all 3 times, then install from sd card, the first 2 zips flash fine, but everytime I get to the 3rd zip it aborts and I get an error at line 12. At this point it won't bot past the samsung screen and I have to odin back to stock again. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

I love it!

I have been having a few issues though.

Sms and mms message send themselves repeatedly. People tell me that I keep sendingthem the same messages and pictures messages over and over and over again.

I've also noticed issues with apps like okcupid and tunewiki. The back button functions are faulty.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Chief85:
EDIT/UPDATE: Even though I tried this before, I restarted and the problem went away. Weird. I'll see if I can figure out if something is triggering the problem (though hopefully it doesn't happen again)

I installed 4.02b without a hitch (did the flash back to DI18 and rebuild for the GPS'

sake). However, I have one major problem: sound does not work.

Allow me to clarify:

The only sounds that work are the startup/shutdown sounds, and the damn system click sound (like when you type on the keyboard). Notifications, ringtones, and even music played through the player does not work, no matter what the volume settings.

Anyone experience something similar?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ballerkz:
Has anyone notice anything wrong with the battery life after flashing4.0.2 a &b rom. After I flashed the rom, I noticed that the battery went down faster than usual while using the phone. The display is taking up over 93% of the battery usage even though I have the brightness turned all the way down. This is only while the phone screen is on when it is in stand by it last for quite a while.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tpma4life:
That link takes me directly to the 2.5.5 link, and searching the forums for 2.5.0 brings up nothing. So unless it's way later through the posts..which I searched and nothing came up..then I don't know.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sjc924:
The display is not using 93%... When the battery stats are cleared, the only thing that registers as using power is the display until you do other things that use power, so if you check battery stats immediatley after a battery stats wipe, which can occur when you flash a new ROM, it will say your display is using all of your battery which is misleading, technically true because it is the only thing using power, but misleading. What it's really saying is that there isn't really anything else using power. The battery stats start at 100% and divy up the 100% based on what is actually using power. They do not start at 0% and track what percentage of your battery has actually been used by each item listed. Clear as mud?

With that being said, if your battery is draining faster than usual something is definitely wrong. If you had undervolt mods installed on your phone and you did not odin back to stock before flashing 4.0.2a I would suggest you do that.

Governor Killer Re-Up

Tried link for governor killer and drop box wasn't working. Is their a re-up or mirror?
[Epic 4G Android Development] casias002:
I was having the same problem. I tried installing like 4 different times and I kept getting stuck on the "Reboot Recovery" part. It would also send me to the stock Android recovery which I thought was weird cause I thought it was replaced by Clockwork.... guess the Android Recovery is still hiding in there somewhere lol. Every time I started over I would use Odin to flash me back to stock. So on the last try, I reformatted my SD card (I backed it up first of coarse), flashed back to stock using Odin, then flashed the DK28 pit and modem. After that I installed a random rom, I think it was Viperrom Afterlife (hell version) that was DK28 compatible. Then I went through the usual steps for installing Apocalypse and it worked.

Im not sure if it was the SD card reformat or the flash to "Afterlife" that made it work.

That seems about right. Some things still havent been showing up in the battery use like launcher pro and other apps. I didn't have any undervolt mods on my phone before I flashed the mods though. I used Odin to start over from stock though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Webinator:
App

I downloaded the undervolt app and Dalvik2cache.zip what do I need to set up. I mean I have my sd card partitioned do i need to do anything else to get it ready to install.

Also I have used Titanium in the past to move my apps to my sd card and I think thats what may have caused my when on restart to loose service and have to reflash to get it back. Has anyone else had this problem. I may have been the live wallpaper app also. I installed both and when I restarted for something else I had no service.

Keep up the great work Viper Rom crew!

[Epic 4G Android Development] blademonkey:
We'll have to note this on the wiki.

I think forcing the Dk28 Stock ODIN is the way to go, perhaps even if they are coming from another ROM.

I think i read somewhere in the thread that someone who had an EXT4 rom and CWM 3.+ ran the ROM directly without running Flash first, Flash Second and Flash Last.

We'll make a note of this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] blademonkey:
I got this on one of the ViperROM updates until i downloaded Google Voice.

I found the following explaination.

"The message you are getting is because you switched from a phone using visual voicemail (like the instinct) to something which uses the standard voicemail set up. There are a couple of things to do. You can use sprint.com to block the messages under the text messaging settings. you can also call sprint and have them put a block on thrid party texting services. Also try reconfiguring your voicemail settings."

All u did was downloaded GV and it stped?, because I started getting those once I deleted hullomail because it wasn't reliable.
[Epic 4G Android Development] blademonkey:
I honestly didn't pay that much attention to the messages, but i do remember seeing them and i thought it was rather odd. I remember the two apps i downloaded were google voice and google maps.

you could try just downloading the Sprint Visual Voice Mail app from the Viper store in the Apps section.

I'm interested to see if you can test this further, we can post this on the wiki as a known issue.

Edit: I have my voicemail set up with Google Voice (voice.google.com). I dont know how about hullomail, but i have been pretty happy with GV. It's free and it's a google app (which means it's most likely going to be supported in Android). blablablaitalktoomuch

It should, but you shouldn't have to.

It might not be a bad idea, though - - just to make sure that it is not a hardware issue that just happened to coincide with your recent flash. ??

In any case, going back to stock would give you a fresh start. Also, if you go back to stock, make sure to get a GPS lock before you flash any custom roms so that you can have that issue out of the way at the same time!

I have never had an issue with my GPS personally. It appears that it is hit or miss with the Epic phones. Some (many) have GPS issues and some don't. I can tell you that it is NOT related to this rom specifically.

Basically, you Odin back to Stock (the "xx17" version) let that boot up completely, (media scanner finished, etc.) download Google Maps from the market and get a lock. Odin up to DK28 and do the same thing. You should be good from then on.

The lagfix works but leaves little memory. I've run the program several tims then put my apps back on move them to sd and all of a sudden not enough free memory for lagfix program. App definatey needs to open up memory equirements as well as open slide more to the left for less ram selection.

I like the viper rom. But, is it me or does dk28 in general seem much slower, more bulky, and more ram sucking than the 2.1 roms did? I was running baked snack rom, geniousdog kernal and could easily smoke any 2.2 roms in speed based on real use and feel. 2.2 lags, sticks and seems completely unpolished. I am just curious as to why? Isn't 2.2 supposed to be faster and streamlined? I guess what we REALLY need is kernal tweaks! We need noobln to help us on kernal!
