Search the market for Screen On by Konstantinos Polychronis. It will allow you to not only keep it on when charging but keep it on with apps as well. i.e. navigation
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danietzs:
thanks i'll try it out, the only thing about an app solution is that it must run in the background, so it might chew up my battery but i guess ill give it a go.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aalh:

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] krackers:
I want to create a battery mod for odexed froyo KA6 stock using the framework-res in the lockscreen mod for it. I already flashed the lockscreen mod, and want to retain the mod, so I am taking the framework-res from it and then inputting that to UOT kitchen. It says it only works for deodex roms, however, it went through fine. I have yet to flash it. Has anyone else used UOT kitchen before? Thnx
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
I had to start this thread because the more I read on EB13 the more I get the feeling that its not that big of impovement over DK28.

I would at least think that they would make web browser lag free like its on Syndicate(Maybe even stock DI18),but no-that was too much to ask.

Anyways to make it short:Syndicate is still the fastest and smoothest and 2.2 supposed to be an improvement in ui responsiveness and speed but in this case its not from what im reading so far.

Before I delete my peronal modded version of Bonsai Ext4 and flash to EB13(DK28Plus,lol) and spend a few more hours modding it,is it worth it?
[Epic 4G General] deano0714:
Id wait untill roms are updated

Epic
[Epic 4G General] swanysto:
I don't think EB13 is an improvement over the DK28 just yet. But since the source is out, the devs will be able to improve it to a point of being superior to DK28 since they have more info.

A would think a lot of people aren't even going to upgrade to EB13 till the devs have had their hand in it. I think it is the flash freaks that will get EB13 just to get it.
[Epic 4G General] richse:
The more I read your posts the more certain I become that you are a professional troll. What do you get out of being so negative all the time?
[Epic 4G General] Quis89:
Isnt it kind of early for this thread???

In the 30 minutes I've been running EB13 I havent had any issues. Browser seems fast and responsive...keyboard is much improved...and overall its quick and responsive.
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Thats what I was thinking,why they dint just release the source months ago instead of giving us this half ass update?Oh well,lets hope that we dont have to wait long for CM6 and MIUI.
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Maybe youre right.I started it because I read that web browser is chekerboarding and lagging and keyboard bugs are still there.Keyboard bugs I dont care about but browser lag I do.

Maybe you had a better expirience on your phone thats why I started this thread to hear people's opinions because not everyone knows how to update the "Right way"(Odin,reboot,3 wipes,etc,lol).
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
It does make me question whether wiping the phone first will make it perform better (but I wouldn't be coming from DK28, mine's just rooted stock).
[Epic 4G General] herzzreh:
Yes. It fixes the sensors, mine now read correctly and don't jump all over the place.
[Epic 4G General] ms79723:
Browser lag? Y'all talking about the checkerboard stuff? Is that really an issue? How often are you zooming in and out to where its "annoying"? The browser in EB13 puts DK28 to sleep. Loads pages way faster than DK28. 3G also seems to go to sleep a lot quicker on EB13. Other than those two things, it kinda seems the same to me. Idk though, im gonna test Dungeon Defenders in a bit. I'd say its worth the upgrade.
[Epic 4G General] Vertig0:
DK28 is POS full of bugs... lol
[Epic 4G General] swanysto:
How did you guys get it already?
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Im just quoting what I read.So browser is smoother?Im on Bonsai with Dolphin HD and no chekerbording.

Is the browsing expirience like on Syndicate because to me DK28 browsing is not that good compared to Syndicate.

But I would say that I use "zoom in" function alot because I download ps3 games and movies straight to Epic and use Epic more than my laptop.

[Epic 4G General] KaL-EL3038:
really bro seriously?? sorry not to be rude but havent you read all the post everywhere??
[Epic 4G General] AproSamurai:
Personally, I've been running it and for the short time I've been using it, it's very smooth. It's snappy there isn't any random lag, no glitches popping up. The stock browser is actually semi enjoyable because it's snappier than it was in DI18 and DK28. EB13 is worth the jump, I mean Rod is already working on having Genocide out for EB13 and once that happens we'll have an even snappier performance as well an influx of Roms and ports of other Froyo Roms and AOSP roms.

Just try it out and give it some time to sink in with you.
[Epic 4G General] JMMusic:
I updated by downloading update.zip and then rebooting into stock recovery and applying it. Right enough for me.

I'm satisfied so far. It matches the performance I've become used to with DI18, so I'm not disappointed. I can view my favorite educational (read: porn) websites with flash on my phone now. My bluetooth headset just got a whole lot more useful. I can install more apps, shoving bits of them off to the SD card.

The browser does checkerboard, but not to the point where it bothers me enough to even try out another browser. I haven't had any more keyboard lag than I did with DI18, and never had any other than when the browser was first starting even then.

It's a far sight better than DK28 was when I tried it and rapidly ditched it as not up to par.

As of yet my phone is not printing money, nor do the teachers on the aforementioned educational websites offer anything more than visual, so I guess it could have been better...
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
I went from bonsai to eb13. I can't really complain about anything, yet. It seems pretty smooth, but I've barely had a chance to really put it through its paces. Most people on roms will probably be best off waiting for roms to update. It might be Saturday or Sunday before we start seeing rebuilt roms since this is a full framework change, so you might have to be patient. If patience isn't your thing, do a backup and switch over. You can always go back to what you have now.
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
LOL (for real) - thanks JMMusic for a well written and witty review of the new ROM. Someone should make (I don't feel qualified enough) a thread just for reviews/impressions/bugs of EB13, I think.
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Thanx man,thats what I been waiting to hear instead of irrelevant and negative comments.

I was thinkin "It cant be possibly worse than DK28",negative feedback I was getting is probably from people that dint do a clean update.

Alot of people on here use Titanium Backup and just flash over old rom and thats the people that have problems mostly.I always wipe everything clean before I install any rom or update and never have any problems.
[Epic 4G General] Kitteh298:
Wht do you mean that you wipe clean...?

From My Samsung Epic Using TapaTalk.
[Epic 4G General] Lights218:
I am using Eb13 not sure if i see any real change from midnight rom 3.3. Also noticed i can just flash EB13 modem over what ever dk28 rom i want. I will give it some more time. Hate the bloat ware and gps isn't working. Hope to see some roms by the end of the week.
[Epic 4G General] Quis89:
Even if EB13 only fixed on bug of DK28 it would be worth the jump. The devs are going to enhance it either way. Id say its worth it just for the experience. Then move to something better when the devs are done. The keyboard improvement alone is my biggest love of EB13. It hasnt missed one key!
[Epic 4G General] tripleoptic:
market issues over wifi

I can't seem to do anything over WIFI with the market on EB13... it just keeps freezing. Issue for anyone else?

Reset my WIFI etc. seems fine except on phone.
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
I was bored so I odin'd right from Bonsai 2.0.1 to eb13. If you odin something there is no need for wiping. It seems to me about the same as dk28. There do appear to be some polishing up in the interface though. I say why not...

Sent from Bonsai 5.0.3
[Epic 4G General] shook187:
I've been on DK28 from almost day one and now I'm trying EB13 and I have to say its a bit better. Has anyone notice the calling out bug which one couldn't hear when making a call is now gone.
[Epic 4G General] watermoore:
Awesome

How come this forum doesn't have a "like" button? If it did, consider it pressed for this post hahaha.
[Epic 4G General] DeeODoubleD:
NO, it is not worth it. Do not switch to this build. I'm going back to DI18 for good. I give up; I love this phone and yet I will NEVER by ANY samsung product again. I was even going to buy a samsung TV in the near future, but I vote with my feet and my wallet.
[Epic 4G General] Quis89:
Why? It doesnt seem THAT bad to me. I have no issues with it. The main bugs that I've noticed are gone...

GPS works...keyboard works...and its smooth as hell. Whats the issue?
[Epic 4G General] DeeODoubleD:
I used my phone for tethering for internet on two different desktops from time to time. I have an odd living situation so this is my internet connectivity. DK28 (all builds) randomly dropped my USB Tethering connection which is very frustrating; especially while trying to download. This works fine with DI18. This issue is not corrected in this new build. Also, I can already tell it still zaps the battery and runs the phone very hot for whatever reason compared to DI18.

So, I'm going back to DI18. As far as I can tell, they've done nothing on this build compared to the DK28 leak.

EDIT: Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot to mention that the hotspot worked great on DI18 and doesn't in this build. Although there is a developed apk I can use to correct this, but whatever.

I don't see any difference between this build and DK28. Some people talk about GPS improvement, but that's never been an issue for mine.
[Epic 4G General] JettMartinez:
Hotspot's working fine for me, I'm using it right now.
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
I believe you.When Samsung anounced the upgrade because people was complaining,i said "Watch they just gonna take DK28 fix a few minor bugs like GPS and say "Fck the smoothness and ui responsiveness" lets just ship DK28 and majority will be happy" and majority will but not us folks on xda.

I owned one HTC phone MT3gs and when HTC updated it to froyo three months later,there was never "Froyo Bugs" thread because that froyo update imroved every aspect of 2.1 speed,browser responsivness(there wasnt even need to imrove,it was so smooth).

Ima tell ya one thing HTC forums dont have "complaining threads",and all Samsung forums do(Behold2,Captivate,Fascinate on and on).

I see Samsung's philosophy "Make good firmware so we can sell the phone,once the phone is sold why waste time on making good update?We already got all the money we can get from that sale,Suckas",lol.
[Epic 4G General] nubsors:
Over the past few days I had been receiving a bunch of errors with Nebula Rom 1.0.7 on EXT4. I felt that although Nebula ROM was a very stable rom for DK28, it's still not nearly as stable as EB13. I have noticed significant improvement over DI18 and the memory mangement seems to be very good. I'm no expert but I feel like the upgrade was definitely worth it. Can't wait to get some custom roms from EB13.
[Epic 4G General] DeeODoubleD:
Sure... no error 67 or whatever? Riiiiiight.
[Epic 4G General] DeeODoubleD:
This seems to be the case. Again, I love the phone... fast hardware, keyboard, great screen. Too bad what I need to work the most isn't stable. Sigh...

At least I can go back to DI18, but still won't have flash among other goodies.
[Epic 4G General] blu9987:
fixes for me since dk28:

fixes SMS not sending sometimes until phone reboot

fixes no sound when dialing (speakerphone on/off was a hotfix)

reasons why Im glad eb13 is out?

1. in the upcoming weeks expect a more stable cyanogen mod

2. also expect a functional MIUI

The OTA release is nothing special out-of-the-box compared to the base froyo rom you've had before. Every customised rom on this forum for dk28 was basically re-skinned with the same minor tweaks for personal preference. Now that the source is out and official froyo; expect some real interesting roms will surface.
[Epic 4G General] mooshubob:
Gotta say, I'm liking the pinch-to-bring up all home screens on stock TouchWiz :P

I use Launcher Pro or ADW anyway, but it's a cool built-in feature
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Go Launcher EX got that "pinch feature" and its free unlike Adw and Pro.Try Go Launcher its better than ADW and Pro put together.Go Launcher EX is so nice that I advertise it any chance I get,lol.
[Epic 4G General] mooshubob:
Yeah it's free on LauncherPro (not the plus version) and ADW.free as well. Just looks cool on the stock too :P
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Yeah I know,but there are few paid feature on them.Go Launcher is completly free-hope it stays like that.
[Epic 4G General] inkdup102586:
I was wondering the same thing, but I figured I might as well do it so I can be ready when customs ROMs and mods come out
[Epic 4G General] TallCan211:
I was kinda on the fence about the upgrade too but wasn't that big of a deal to upgrade, especially with Titantium. I had the leaked DK28 installed w/root. I used Titanium to back up all user data and apps. Odin'ed back to stock DI18 then installed update.zip (EB13) with stock recovery.

One click root worked (after a couple of times). Used Titanium to restore all data and I'm good to go. The only thing I lost was log of text messages.

GPS locked in really quick and indoors, which was always hit or miss before. The keyboard seems to be considerably more responsive but still misses a couple keys if you type really quick. Haven't noticed any other changes from DK28 but I'm sure I'll come across some more. To me, the keyboard improvement is worth the upgrade.
[Epic 4G General] snowmanwithahat:
It's what I'm planning on... I'm actually already on a month old DK28 rom but I haven't felt the need to update... Now that i'm flying at 1.2ghz with this newest kernel I'm less inclined to update immediately

I really want to wait for an ACS version...
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Are you serious? There is no lag in the browser at all in EB13. I'm running on 3G data and it is EXTREMELY fast! I will video record me using my phone and show you it running different websites and zooming in and out constantly.

(Remember: You need to go into the browser settings and turn on "Auto-fit!"
[Epic 4G General] h8uman:
Custom Rom vs. Stock Rom???

This whole thread started because the OP is comparing performance of a custom ROM over a stock ROM???......Really?

XDA already has too many of these threads.

Dont expect too much from a stock rom. The most exciting thing about EB13 is that it is official. DK28 is not.
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
I updated right away, figured I could always go back, but I at least wanted to check it out.

Everything I tried works (except things that need root), and the phone is fast, stable, and GPS finally works for me (didn't on any other DK28 setup)

Can't wait until EB13 gets tweaked!
[Epic 4G General] flash_c4:
It's also been rock solid for me. I see many people complaining and talking about how this doesn't run right compared to the 10 other roms they have ran and how they installed this and restored that... I wonder if they ever stop and think about how many of the issues could be self inflicted.... I went back to DI18 on Sunday so I could be ready for the OTA but last night I ended up using the Windows updater and wiped everything. Everything has worked great and the phone seems to be as response as it was with DI18.
[Epic 4G General] us1415:
Will stick with the ROMs for now.
[Epic 4G General] Xerexis:
Do you really expect to get an official update that is better than what the Devs here have put together. The only reason the official release was exciting is now we have it all, including the kernels and the devs can work their magic. Samsung and Sprint just wanted to get the update out there and they released an official version for just that reason. Better quality work always come from the Devs anyway. The official release is the meat and potatoes now the devs have what they need and I'll wait until the goodies are released. Of course Dk28 was better look at all the talent we have making it better.
[Epic 4G General] us1415:
I agree. I would wait till all the files are out and worked on by the devs here before I update.
[Epic 4G General] nonzenze:
Anyone have success just hop-upgrading without backing up and doing a complete restore?

Yeah, I know the wipe is the right way to go but I just don't have the time.
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
So youre saying that dev can do everything that Samsungs devs can?Dont Samsung got some special equipment that xda devs dont?

I mean Samsung,does make froyo driver and that from scratch,why cant xda devs do that?

Im asking because I dont really know the whole process but it seams logical that if xda devs had everything needed they wouldnt need nothing from Samsung,am I correct?
[Epic 4G General] Z a p i x:
GPS works without intervention from GPS STATUS app

OMFG! Bluetooth voice dialing FINALLY works

My battery isn't being drained like a broken water pipe

zero issues with the broswer

Ran Titanium backup to backup all my apps, odined back to DI18, ran the update.zip, rooted with one click 2.5.5, restored apps with titanium backup.

That was hardly any "trouble"

A few minutes to backup

A few minutes to odin

A few minutes to run the update

Maybe 2 minutes to root

A few minutes to restore apps.

Honestly, THIS is how the phone should have been out of the box.
[Epic 4G General] abduljaffar:
Initialy I was devastated by this final release.it was jerky and not as smooth was dk28. But it was a bad flash. I dl the 200 file from samsung and team it from my pc. Now its clean and almost flawless. Gps works, and very little checked board on the browser.and best thing is, you can now multitask! Android don't close down the apps in the background! The only thing that's broken for myself was the gsensor switching to portrait and landscape, it was very slow! But I just found out about this trick from another thread in here. Go to the seetings/display/calibrate. Then do the calibration upside down! That means lcs screen facing the flat surface. I used my window ledge. I placed out flat but the button sticking out a bit the ledge so I can still hit the calubration button on screen. Once its calibrated, the magnet compass is correct and gsensor actualy works normal! No root needed!

I highly suggest installing this if your on dk28. Dk28 is garbage now.

Also a root guide on the side?

Hey I am 13 years old and i would love to learn how people like eugene and team whiskey and jeallette can make all these awesome roms and wondered if anyone could be nice and give me advice on how to learn all this... i am really facinated by the devs in xda no homo
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
You could download the android SDK, eclipse and learn some by just downloading their ROMs and looking around. I think the best answer is going to come from one of them, but learning Java and playing should be a good start.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avelnan:
I don't really think the no homo at the end was necessary.

I don't think your post is either.

As s15 said download sdk.

download some roms from here and get familiar with whats what.

some of the newbie roms out are nothing but a popular rom with theme and custom applications.

Learn java as well.

Good luck if your gonna try but just follow development for awhile and learn from trial and error not that I'm a developer but that's what I would do.

For what it's worth, when I was 13 I was poking around in the terminal on my desktop and writing calculator programs in basic (following tutorials of course), and I'm by no means smart.

Oh well there's nothing wrong with it, I'm 14. Yeah I'm kinda smart don't get me wrong , I took the ACT when I was 12 ,in gifted classes, in algebra, 1400 something on my Sri, and in all challenge classes. Have had 3 rooted android phones. Set up all the necessary things to root. There's nothing wrong with being young but at least go out hang with friends or work out/ get fit. Rooting is a hobby.

I'm by no means an expert with android work, but I've learned by reading ,by tinkering, and asking. I'm personally better with C, C++, & C#, but I can do a bit of java and html. Just start reading, you cant hack a system if u don't know it inside and out. Learn everything you can about android, linux, arm, qualcomm, cell technology, etc. just start absorbing any info u can get ur hands on regarding the systems & hardware Hope that gives u a place to start =)

Well thank you at least you realize I wasn't trying to start anything -_-
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arkasai:
Keep interested! If you really like this stuff, you won't be able to stop yourself from learning more. Try out some Linux distributions, read up on programming languages (I recommend python and it's java-fied version jython,) and just read whatever interests you.

If you're interested in making themes, get yourself a copy of Photoshop (doesn't have to be CS5) or if you don't feel like breaking all kinds of copy right, get The GIMP. There's a a whole lot of tutorials out there for every kind of effect you'd want to achieve with an image. There's also a lot of tutorials on xda for people looking to get into theming.
