Full description coming soon... I changed from 56m heap back to 48m because I noticed some bugs... Theme changed,and now its a blank slate compared to v17,I think you will be happier with the way the downloads are setup. You get the choice of what to install from the start,you will spend less time trying to remove things you dont want. If you have any questions on why things dont work let me know.Sync problems are more then likely things that are removed and put into NoN critical apps package.Like if your calander dosnt sync,add Calander provider.apk,Most things should be easy to spot,but Im always here to help,it just might take 2-3 hours for a responce.

Can I just flash v24 zip over my current v23? Will I lose anything.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
You should be ok,all personal data should be there,but all system data gets formatted,if this dosnt work let me know. The last time I checked the script it should be ok.
[Epic 4G Android Development] atty101:
Which is why we should all be donating. I'm sure even a little is appreciated. If you're liking this ROM please help it's developer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hdnet1:
Same here... doing a hard reset and starting over, I'll report back if it works.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Neptune5k:
Your ROM keeps getting better and better, keep up the good work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] hdnet1:
Hard reset did not work on getting Data and Wifi back, however, reformatting with the non journaling and re-installing the rom did the trick. It may have been one of the add ons that took out the data. Guess I'll find out when I go back in and start flashing things back onto it one at a time.

If its based off of Bonsia then yes, this rom is deoxed, pre-rooted, CWM re-director, and zipaligned at first boot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
Yes deodexed,pre rooted,and has CW redirect,I will update OP soon,working right now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
Good thinking,Ill add a store and slim down the ROM as much as possible...

Let me know if data is slow,I might remove Vipers data fix.

Thank you for the thanks, it's nice to see some of my work being put to use. ;) g'luck with the rom and if you need any help with anything don't be afraid to ask.

O btw it does this for just about every rom out there after 100 it get's the hicups... I'm in the process of breaking down my boot animation in order to get rid of this delay...
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
If you are lucky enough to have an Epic 4G on a legacy plan there is no need for the Viper Mod. Sprint only imposed the 5gb data cap on new plans that are eligble for premium devices. Basically if you upgraded to get this phone you shot yourself in the foot.

[Epic 4G Android Development] imtjnotu:
what do u mean.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] robmelko:
I think the viper mod removes the throttling rather than the DL cap.. I have in installed over the latest bonzai rom and don't see much difference if anything the data drops out more IMO.. also I cant point fingers at that mod due to others I have flashed but my dl speed was fast already just sounded like i was gonna get 500mb/s if i used it LOL not the case. * and with the torrent disclaimer whats the point of the mod really.. I'd only want to speed up large files. just my thoughts
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
I have a Epic 4G that is on the old sero plans. Which have unlimited data over 3G, the newer plans have unlimited 4G but limited 3G. Check the Overdrive HotSpot specs.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Jaydube:
Dl link not working. Any mirrors?
[Epic 4G Android Development] raylusk:
There is no cap on the amount of data for phones. The overdrive plans don't apply to the phones. Even when you pay for and use sprints wireless hotsput on the epic their is no data cap.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Are you on sprint? With a 4G plan? If so your 3g is not unlimited. Only the 4G. Example Sero Premium 500. Plan cost $30.00, plus $10.00 for premium device, $10.00 for 4G. The premium device tax is for using a phone that pulls from the web constantly. $50.00 for 500 mins, unlimited data, but the 3G is not unlimited. Its not even unlimited for their purely data plans. That's also why sprint charges $30.00 for hotspot on the epic. Look it up, don't tell me I'm wrong. Especially if your uninformed.

You are the one that is uninformed. On this link the plan clearly says UNLIMITED data on their network. I really love when someone calls me out and can't back up what they say. Do better research next time before making statements like this.

Its not a cap it pay per mb. That site you linked to proved nothing, read your contract next time you sign something.

Sent from my midNIGHT Mysteriously SERO™ 4G
[Epic 4G Android Development] raylusk:
I have and an old article that has been debunked proves nothing. I linked something directly from sprint. You should try and get your information directly from sprint. Here I will help you out. The 5gb caps is when a data card is operating on 3g. It doesn't apply to phones as the link I posted clearly shows. Quit reading articles that are poorly written and go directly to the source, sprint. That way you can actually get factual information.
[Epic 4G Android Development] fchristian2k:
Just to help clarify, in case you either did not read your contract, don't understand footnotes, or perhaps you are indeed special and the contract you have is a "one of a kind".... Sprint has a 5GB soft limit on 3g on all newer contracts (within the last two years). You would hav had to sign a new contract to get the epic at the discounted price, so if you did not pay full retail for the Epic then you are on a new, current contract. Only 4g is unlimited. If yhou doubt this, contact Sprint and they will clarify. The only people who are uninformed are those who believe 3g is unlimited. Instead of referencing web pages that mean nothing, review the contract thoroughly or contact an honest sprint rep. 3g is not unlimited and has not been for around a couple years now. It is simple contract and not a matter of debunking a webpage. It is in your contract if you believe it or not.
[Epic 4G Android Development] boneman1:
Don't mean to be rude, but you're incorrect. If you're on an unlimited data plan it covers both 3G and 4G. The cap is if you're using a data card, not a phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pickneters:
I work for sprint hotspot is the thing that is capped.

Will the core apps for v23 work for v24?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dauss:
Just saw this post and I installed it. It works. I was able to sync and all my calendars showed up. The CalenderProvider.apk looks to be essential for the calendar to sync. Gemini Calendar now runs as well(if you were wondering.)

I am doing some further testing and I am finding that I have issues with the GPS. It is not working properly or consistently. Wifi off, GPS on, it will occasionally lock on to my location, but if I am moving(like if I am driving) it loses lock and doesn't update. Also, if I were to use Navigation from Google Maps, it just hangs on "Getting driving directions" and sometimes crashes after that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
im looking into several options,thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
yes,but a couple extras were added in v24
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
Yeah this is a known problem for some people,I bet if you remove the updates for maps it will work,,,Im looking at a couple diffrent gps.conf files to see which one works the best...But Im using v24xxx and the new Gmap update works for me... The GPS can be picky some times...

Ill take a look at the file on lunch 330 -4am est... sorry,I hope its not my fault,lol...
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
OP will be updated with a full desription of the ROM and whats in core_apps and whats in the non_critical packs by tomorrow night...

One thing though,If you all decide to switch Home Launchers,I ask that you please install SDX app remover in the core_apps pack to remove Launcher2 once you have a diffrent launcher installed... This will prevent 2 acore processes from running,I have seen this cause issues and its just better unless you want more then 2 launchers.

do i have to install all those files for this to work? or just the first one? i intalleed the first one only and i have no phone service when i turn on phone. can some one help me install this rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
I knew I should have finished the OP yesterday,Im sorry... So did you install the dk28 modem also ( I know there is a thread that states the DI18 modem will work) because you need this to be installed. Everything is in the base ROM for phone service,wifi 3g and 4g to work... I know that maybe the market should be included,but some people may find this easier if they want to tr 1 of 3 black markets... Anyways,if you download core_apps.zip and NoN_critical.zip you can open the archives and pull out whatever you dont want,then install through cwm3... Let me know if you have any other problems....

Yeah this guy does a pretty good job of reviewing phones,just watched about 5 videos of ROMs for the Epic,he has plenty...Also noticed his review of Frankenstein FROYO 17c,nice... I would like to see a review of this one,maybe we can get him some requests... But I bet he says somthing about there not being a market or browser being installed by default. But I think its ingenious and inovative,Its no kitchen but as close as it comes... I hope everyone agrees.

Also, a Thank you would have been nice to say...Seems like everyone wants answers but yet doesn't take 2 seconds to thank anyone.

[Epic 4G Android Development] HeXeD:
Who the heck are you? The courtesy police? Kinda hypocritical seeing that you haven't hit the "thanks" button ONCE for ecooce throughout this entire thread and he has thanked you.. you know it only takes "2 seconds" to thank someone right? :rolleyes:

..not to mention the only thing the guy wanted to know is what the stock rom name is that comes with the Epic 4G and you sent him to a video on how to get it to stock 2.2.. why in the world should he thank you?

If getting "thanks" is the reason you do this you might want to find a different hobby.

Why should outkast22 thank me or anyone who is trying to help him.....? Courteousy? Maybe just for trying to help him get his phone bootable to something.

This is why I am hesitant to try and help in these forums. You get reemed a new one either way!

Love this ROM. Had problems before with data working, but flashed it today and it works great. I am noticing that my videos from my camera have bad audio sync with the video.

You might need to start from scratch... I bet its a DK28 modem problem,that or like I said Sprints network is flackey right now,I just now got 3 text messages that I know were sent an hour ago,and I still cant call out,my brothers line just started working,and my dad cant call out.

actualy i think your wrong. because im on that sprint 69.00 plan and not only is 3g unlimited if im roaming on verisons 3g network thats also free and unlimted.

You get data roaming onto verizon, not 3g data though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nvoltz:
Someone clear me this up for me. Is it just me or did we “Epic 4g” owners got shafted on the internal memory BS, I mean 512mb is junk. I have got like the bare Rom and a couple of apps and even with the EXT4 there is only so many apps you can app2sd. Anyone, how the hell do you not go nuts with the limited space on the Epic? I’m seriously thinking about calling the Sprint retention dept. and ask them to down grade me to the Evo shift that has 2 Gbs of internal storage.:mad:
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jayavarman:
Wait a few months to upgrade to a Galaxy S2 phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] h8uman:
My guess that it is the way it is with anything you have in life, you either deal with it or try and make a change. I for one, am intrigued with the Galaxy S2, but I can think of about 10 better things right now in my life than to spend $500+ dollars on than another phone.

As for the EVO shift, not a bad phone, my wife has it, but I would still stick with the Epic. The screen is just down right beautiful compared to the shift and EVO.

Just out of curiosity, how many programs do you actually run that need that much space in the phone storage? I have about 50 installed ranging form a couple of games to utilities and still have well over 390MB of phone storage. Most of the apps I have are not app2sd compatible.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
Well with apps getting bigger,and big nams starting to jump on the development wagon,you will see some huge files...I mean we are about to have Sony start pumping out apps,so they should be pretty big and awesome. Now back to the subject at hands everyone,its cool to have a responce or 2 about what someone puts in this thread,but dont let it get overboard.I sorta dont care,but I felt I had to say something...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nvoltz:
I must be doing something wrong, 7 apps with the core app package and I'm done? And those app2sd widgets only move over some not all or non critical.

Sorry guys, maybe there should be a forum called "Epic venting":D

I would like to try this ROM out and currently using Epic Experiance 2.0.0.7 it is not using the EXT format.

My question is, when I convert over can I just do an advance restore and just do the data to get all my settings and apps back on? If not, what is the best way of doing that?

Your ROM looks very good and I like the fact that you have broken out all the apps into a zip file. That is what I call custimization.
