That clock zip will not work with this rom that is why I have taken it down... I have a clock zip right now but it has the clock in the right corner with part of the am/pm on the screen I am working on fixing this before I put the clock update out. Also just so everyone knows the clock in the upper right corner will burn out your pixels... I should have the flashable clock zip up in a few days. Sorry about that...

Thank you and we thought that you would all enjoy this rom as much as we are.

#1 try odin back to stock...

#2 do ota updates...

#3 re-root your phone with one click...

#4 then try flashing the rom with the kernel.

Along the way flashing stuff something on your phone has gotten f%$#ed up... This is why I am telling everyone to becareful what they flash, get to know your dev and make sure they know what they are doing... Open source means that any idiot with a pc and half a brain can put some crap together that might f-up your phone... And from what I've flashed lately that is exactly what is going on... I don't know how many roms I've tried out lately have jacked my phone up, I even had one and I won't even name it that I thought I was going to have to buy a riff box to repair my phone from, luckily pulling the batt, holding volume buttons while usb plugged, and putting the bat in got me into download mode... Long story short, BE CAREFULL... The stuff these roms can do might be subtle, or might be very apparent, we try to make our rom compatible with just about everything and if it isn't we try to let people know... Thank you.

As I stated these roms/kernels that so called "devs" are cooking can break things on your phone. If you have this problem please try odin back to stock, ota update, root, flash rom, if problem persists I need a hardware version off your phone and then I can try to narrow down the culprit.

This is located in settings/about phone all the way at the bottom in hardware version: D700.0.5 = current hardware but I havn't seen any other version, so...
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
I hate to sound like a dweeb- but its almost like the modem issue. Different handsets react differently to various kernels. My previous handset didn't like Genocide either. I always had to go with Clean, Vision, or TWZ. My external speaker blew, so Sprint gave me a new handset, and now I'm running SRF 1.2 with Genocide 2.0 and its screaming fast. Someone said it best- "the phone chooses its ROM" (or kernel, or modem)
[Epic 4G Android Development] greatlakesghost:
Did you try dual boot at some point in the past? I had that happen to me in the past where the residual files left on the sd card was preventing the kernel to boot for one reason or another. I delete the files on the sd card and problem solved, for me at least.
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
DAMN it NINTENDO I want my damn Wii so I can play COD Black Ops, I got the warranty so I wouldn't have to fix the damn thing, now I'm rethinking that, I would have been better off voiding the warranty and fixing the pile of crap myself...

Anways good point Rounsy222, I should have thought of that but I tend to stay away from the dual boot... Also even if you don't dual boot, these roms are sometimes save files to your sd card and yes they can mess up your phone... My suggestion copy files to computer, reformat sd, reinstall rom with sd card in, then move only your important files to your sd card from your pc...

BTW if your epic is acting janky or different than most of the populations with the same software/modem and you have tried all of the proper steps to get it running right, I would say send the B%$#@ back, either that or you don't know what you are doing and should have this fine piece of technology taken away from you... Hardware problems can't be fixed by most people, and that's most likely your issue. I have 2 epics, I have a tester with 8 epics on hand at any one time, as well he has 2 testers running any revision I send and they are all working the same with this rom and genocide. If you have taken all of the courses of action that anyone like Rounsy222, or JohnCorleone (these guys have run roms) have given and it's still not working, damn your sol and I hope you got insurance cause you got some janky samsung hardware, it happens...

---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

Sounds like you had a lemon on your hands... I don't believe that the phone chooses it's rom... These phones are essentially pc's and when you have a bad part in a pc software will react different with the error, it has nothing to do with the phone choosing what it likes it has more to do with shotty manufacturing...

I noticed this way back with the samsung moment, first run of these phones were good and then towards the end they put out a whole crap load of shotty moments with bad hardware...
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
Sure, next you'll tell me there's no Santa Claus... ;)

Thanks for the clarification. As you can tell, I'm a newb. And I appreciate all the work you devs do! Its why I have an awesome phone and not some "door jam" (like an iPhone or Blackberry)
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
Lmfao now that's funny, Santa isn't the easter bunny on the other hand is... ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
I have got to say how un hospitable all of these other communities are... Wow ! ! ! ppc geeks, samsung epic forums both insulted me right away before ever even looking at the web page or trying the rom... I think they might be a little scared of us... O hell no it's the invasion of IAP we better tell our community that they should install at their own risk and that we don't recommend IAP... SAD. I am very offended at take these as insults. IAP has worked hard from the bottom up to earn a good reputation and just because their closed minded community has never heard of us they immediatley insult us.... F%$# them...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Suprize3131:
Keep doing y'all thing every rom that has been built from IAp has worked beautifully on my phone haters go hate and fear whats not theres keep up the awesome work!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
This rom is sweet. Best rom you guys put 2gether. Do I have to flash Genocide 2.0 or is it built in?
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
Built in ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] greatlakesghost:
Thanks for the kind words. I follow some pretty big steps with JohnCorleone, but trying and now testing has taught me a ton in the past few months. I tried dual boot because i was bored and failed miserably at my first attempt. Never thought about the residual files until one day cleaning my sd card up and that magical light bulb pop into my head. So now i know.
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
I'm going to put together a tips and tricks section on the IAP site for helping with installation, if anyone has any send me a PM with the tip or trick and whatever tag you want listed for credit.

;) Thanks

BTW, I'm stealing this one and throwing it in there, don't worry though I'm give ya credit Rounsy.

It's a good tip that no one ever thinks about, I just do it, it's good practice with how much crap I end up with on my sd card at the end of the day...
[Epic 4G Android Development] greatlakesghost:
Feel free, i dont mind. It was just a random thing that worked. Was bashing my head for weeks trying to figure it out. So if that saves even one person the same grief, i am all for it. Having a tips section is a great idea. If i have any i will pm you with them.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
You had stated that this is just a leak, if I'm not mistaken, of this rom. So what else left is there to do?
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
it's acctualy a release candidate note the RC1 but what I am trying to fix b4 the final release is the 3 bugs mentioned in the op, I'm trying to work with fr4gg0r on the tw launcher problems and I am also trying to contact the viper team about source code for viper pad other than that it will just be minor tweaks... as for the lock screen gotta figure it out myself, ;) or maybe maddoggin can help me out...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
I give it to the IAP Team though I have no fc at all. Usually a early release to a rom comes with some fc of sort but not you guys. When will the IAP Team start accepting requests for custom roms?
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
We are currently working on Galaxy Tab, Nexus S, Galaxy S II(epic touch), and Epic... So to say the least we are currently very busy. The epic is still our main priority as we currently have clients that we have contracts with and need to provide support for.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jaculop:
Looking forward to giving this ROM a shot tonight. Going complete clean install. ODIN and all. =)
[Epic 4G Android Development] jaculop:
Really liking the look and feel of this ROM so far. Only question I have is how do I change the home screen dock buttons to use another application. For example, use Handcent instead of stock messaging?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Sounds like you actually care about thorough testing before release which I really appreciate. I have used Viper Pad (which is Swipe Pad from market) for months now. The Market version is actually smoother and more stable. Sometimes Viper Pad will not show the bottom 3 slots on first swipe. Swipe Pad doesn't seem to have that problem. It sounds like you have testing covered but if you ever need anyone to try something, just let Rounsy or me know.
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
There are how to's on the download page of the iap website that is one of them. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
I'll have to checout swipe pad and you can never have to many testers. ;)

Edit: Checked out swipe pad and it is way more stable and less glitchy than viper pad, it will be modified and thrown in on the next release of the rom. Everyone hit the thanks button for John Corleone for this bit of info, I have been wondering about this for a while now and go figure ya put it out there on XDA and someone will know. ;)

Edit #2: wow this sipe pad is a lot more versatile, and I was thinkin about writing my own version of it. I don't think I could do much better than they have done with it...
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
Comming Soon on the iap website forum...

Tips and tricks with Rounsy222 & John Corleone...

There is also a Q & A section in there where you can get help with your problem. I do not suggest abandoning XDA-developers as it is a great source of information but if you are having troubles with rom installation for Rebirth or any iap product I suggest heading over to the iap forum. ;) specialized help pertaining more towards our products...

IAP's One Click Root GUI with clockwork mod 3.1.0.1 + busy box is up on the IAP site in the downloads section, ahhh whatever it's late I'm tired here is the link...

IAP.OneClick.CWM.3.1.0.1.zip
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
Trying to install the new clockwork but it says installation aborted. Any reason why?
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
Is debugging on you phone on ? Is rageagainstthecage in the sys folder ? Are your antivirus and other real time protection turned off(they need to be off when downloading and extracting the zip as well as while running)... it's the same as oneclick RATC is considered malicious...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
The debugging is off but all of those other things your asking I have no idea how to check if its off.
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
Are you trying to flash this with clockwork ? ? ?, um I guess I left this out, This is a program for your pc.... It's much safer this way than flashing with clockwork, I also made this for people who are newely rooting their phone or have had to return to stock and reroot their phone...

#1 turn of your antivirus and real time protection RATC is considered malicious...

#2 download the iap.oneclick.cwm.3.1.0.1.zip.

#3 extract anywhere on your pc

#4 run the iap.oneclick.cwm.3.1.0.1.exe

#5 turn debugging on your phone on.

#6 plug your phone into your pc.

#7 Click Root It on the oneclick app...

Sorry for the confusion...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
I should have known that. As many times as I've flashed a new cw.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
Alot of app started fc even TW when I reinstalled my backup. I had to reflash all over. Any reason why?
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
Data corruption, I suggest turning journaling on especially if you there is a possibility you are going to shutdown your phone improperly (such as the reboot button) or going to need to do a restore for some reason...

I turned journaling on being that I am flashing constantly between Rebirth EC05 and Rebirth EH17 right now and have done backups with no issues, I had to odin back to stock before I put two and two together that it was the journaling...

BTW Rebirth EH17 is going well, I am having some first flash install issues, for some reason I am having to flash twice for it to take, Also the one thing I am not happy with and I'm not sure we can fix without source is this random reboot issue with EH17... I've got it down to a minimum but it's still there...
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
Alright once again the IAP is picking up and moving across town... We will have limited time and resources while we are making this move. The expected completetion of the move is scheduled for the 7th of October, but just like last time I'm sure we will have some issues with the internet...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
So journaling isn't on by default on this rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
No but it will be in the final release, that is one thing I had forgotten, thank you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
Ok. Thanks for the quick response.
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
Ahhh, crap... Move in date for the office is moved to the 14th of October. Will keep intouch with more info...

Also I have been working on a NoClickRoot/RebirthInstaller, this is being created for a client that needs to root and install A version of our software on a number of phones with speed and limited know how. Simply run the program plug in a phones one by one and the program does all the work for you. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
Thank you Chris41g, Everyone go over and hit the thanks button for Chris, better yet make a donation. lol.

Anyways upon the next release of REBIRTH the ACS/CWM will be baked into the Genocide Kernel, As Always we have had the permission of Rodderik to use and do what we wish with his Kernel, and Chris has now given us permission to use the ACS/CWM Recovery. This means when booting into recovery through the recovery reboot or using ADB it will boot into the ACS/CWM, as for the 3 finger boot that will still be whatever recovery you decide to flash...
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Just flashed your ROM for kicks, it's been a month or so since I've flashed a ROM. Very good, fairly smooth out of the box. And although I'm not partial to the neon green color scheme, I have to say it is very well & thoroughly done.

However, looks like I'm not getting not getting root properly in File Expert, any ideas? Does it have to do with the latest Superuser?

Update: I downgraded Superuser, still no dice. I used Root Explorer, dice.

Do you have any flashable fonts compatible with this ROM?

BTW, I just OC'd, & I don't think I'll even mess with the V6 Supercharger scripts, everything is screaming. Thumbs up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
Wow, um do not upgrade your super user as you will most likely loose your root and the only way to get it back is to remove the upgrade and reroot your phone. As for root access with a file manager I use the latest version of Root Explorer and have no problems, I will check into the issue with File Expert, I do know that older versions of root explorer have that same problem with this rom. What I'm thinking is by upgrading SU it most likely messed up your permissions and they need to be reset... Do this with adb or just reroot your device...

SU update messed up my permissions pretty bad when I did it...
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
lol, um what did you do ! lol. try redownloading the rom, you might have had a bad download the first time, I'm gonna start posting the dm5 checksum so people can check it...
[Epic 4G Android Development] voidxbeast:
i downloaded and installed them all but the 2nd one cause i skipped it on accident but yea should i re download the first one then install the latest update?
[Epic 4G Android Development] voidxbeast:
NVM mind i think it was a bad download (sorry for double post)
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
it's all good I posted the md5 sums I suggest checking them and I will provide MD5 sums for all future downloads, I'm sorry media fire is known for bad downloads...
[Epic 4G Android Development] voidxbeast:
i still got the airplane mode switching on and off constantly and redownloaded it and stuff i actully like media fire and it was not a bad download
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
I just reinstalled 2.2.8 went through all the updates 1 by one and it's working fine for me. I'm not sure what's up with your phone man, you should start from the ground up, install 2.2.8, then either 2.2.8.1 or 2.2.8.2, and then install 2.2.8.3 the nav update...

make sure you wipe, wipe, wipe and have odin'd the dk28 modem...
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
yes, I can concur that it works fine, my only problem at this point is random TW FC's, but its not like it goes into an FC loop so its livable. just does it once and ends.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
i see mammon has a new update out, will we be getting that?
[Epic 4G Android Development] voidxbeast:
ok i returned the phone to stock with odin3 and then one clicked rooted and then flashed the 2.2.8 rom and i still got the airplane mode switching on and off
[Epic 4G Android Development] voidxbeast:
Never mind I am done being a noob fixed my problem.

I love the rom pretty nice. I get the fc every once awile
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
me too, is it from TW launcher? not critical for me, just annoying more than anything else.
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
yeah it's from the gtg tw launcher, I cannot for the life of me figure it out... I'm gonna switch back to mammones tw launcher in 3.0...

Also 3.0.0 will be based on mammon's bonsai 1.0.4.

ETA: within the next hour.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JettMartinez:
Screenshots?

Ok, kindly ignore me. On a random hunch I just went and looked at the OP from my phone instead of my laptop... apparently the firewall at work is blocking where ever the images are linked from. My apologies. :o

This is probably going to sound like a flame, and it's honestly not meant to be, just something I don't understand.

When people post their themes or heavily themed ROMs like this, why don't they add screenshots right away to the OP? Usually after 4 or 5 pages of posts someone starts asking about them, and they tend to get lost in the thread. The someone else asks a few pages later and gets flamed for not searching (even though the search returns suck). Sure there are some performance and utility tweeks to the ROM, but the main draw for this is the gee wiz how cool does my phone look with Batman icons. I try out different ROMs alot, but I'm not tempted to try one without seeing how it looks first. So just curious why that usually isn't one of the first things the chefs want to share.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jfg69:
Will adding ADW or a different TW mess up the theme? I dont particularly care for this version of TW.. other than that seems to be pretty nice.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
thats kinda ashame, I'd rather deal with the annoyances and be able to dock what I want rather than be forced to dock what samsung tells me to.
[Epic 4G Android Development] visions138:
You need to make it with the Gingerbread features .... I want me some Gingerbread Dang that is one long hour..... =8(
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
Lol, made a bunch of changes and had a birthday party to go to, so I figured I would get some testing at the party done, you know taking pictures, makeing phone calls, using the gps on the way there and back even though I know the way... So far it's looking good... Not one force close so far with the gtg twlauncher except when using xda-developers app... I'm not sure why that app in particular makes it force close but I'm lookin into it.

I'm going to give it one more day of testing...

NEW ETA: tomorrow after work... 5:30 eastern time zone...
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
It might I know launcher pro messes with the icons on the menu... Try it out and let me know. ;)

With version 3, can we use Launcher pro ? I am thinking about trying it out.

Anyone running .4 bonsai then switch over to this one have any issues ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
It didn't mess up mine. So I have to re root?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
Yeah I have to re root messed it up!!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] vmgc1131:
Rotation speed is very slow, any suggestions? thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] greatlakesghost:
You can try the horizontal screen calibration under display and/or there is a thread under development here that is titled screen rotation lag fix I believe.
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
Sorry guys I'm still unable to attend to issues until we move into the new office on the 14th... I havn't had time to mess with the new SU binaries so please do not intsall them or you will have to uninstall them and then reroot your device with the IAP one click root or the regular one click root...
[Epic 4G Android Development] greatlakesghost:
If it didn't mess things up then no. If it prompts you should be able to clear it in the notification bar and should stay away until you reboot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
I re rooted & I went to VC & it says phone isnt rooted. Any reason why?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
This update superuser update messed up my root. Its saying my binary # needs to be updated & when it goes through the process it says "cant gain root"
[Epic 4G Android Development] greatlakesghost:
Can any of your other root apps see root?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
Nope.

Alright we are all set up in our new office, which is smaller but a lot nicer. ;)

Ok on the down side, it looks like we will be taking a month or so away from public rom development, we have been commisioned to develop android/pc software...

On the up side we are expecting to come back from this project with a ton of fresh new ideas to implement into rebirth...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
So no update for rebirth at the moment right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] earthbound[iap]:
No I'm sorry, We have gotten a request for the Prevail that may or may not go public, we are still working out some of the details on it. As for Rebirth it is on the back burner for the moment and so is nexus one, epic touch development for the moment. We applogize for the delay...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
Ok no problem. Keep us fans posted like you been doing.
