First timer, need help! - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hey there XDA Community, I am trying to load a custom rom onto my Sprint Galaxy S II and I am having some major issues. I learn best through communication, so if there was any way I could talk to you through skype, it would be greatly appreciated. I do not have much I can give you in return, but I am sure I could work something out. Post your Skype name and I will add you. Thanks so much for taking the slightest interest in this post!

I do not have many posts, due to the fact that I am a new member, so I shall make this one count. I rooted my phone flawlessly. Now I want to add a rom, perferably ICS Or Cyanogen 9.0, something flashy if you catch my drift. I tried doing an ICS one and ended up clearing all data from my phone with out any movement forward. I am at a loss as to how to implement these roms!

F**k im bored...but i will not post my skpe info....send me a pm with yours or post it here. Im sure we can get you flashed, these things are easy compared to others..

[Q] cyanogenmod ROM (cdma) issue

It seems those working on this ROM don't like to keep people updated so I must fix this myself, but I need help. I'm on the latest cyanogen ROM and mms does not work. It will not send whether on wifi or regular. Does ANYONE have any suggestions of where to look to fix this. I'm not a newb by any means, I've just never ran into anything like this. So any help would be appreciated.
On a side note, not all new members on XDA have no clue so I find it rude and discriminatory to label them as such by not letting them post on the development page and other annoying issues.

This has been a well known issue with the CDMA ROM for several months now. Its by no means knew news. If you would have read the thread for more than 2 pages, you would have seen that. I'm working on a fix for the MMS issue, so we can have a flawless ROM.

I actually read about 50 pages worth and saw nothing. But atleast someone is working on it. I'm going to rip apart the stock ROM and see what I can find. I'm use to working on motorolas, but again, thank you.

[APP] ADW Launcher NEW UPDATE!

Guys ADW has had a huge update! It has now holo design, ics layouts and damn it is SMOOTH! It also has tablet transition and it's very smooth even in free version. I think this could be the new standard for ics themed gingerbread roms! Try it its impressive!

Thanks for sharing!
Oh my goodness. Somebody please, quick, tell me how I can revert to the previous version!
This is a disaster on my phone. Google bar added to home screen (I didn't put it there, I don't want it, it is unremovable!). Takes up vertical real estate, along with the MUCH LARGER dock bar (and I can find no way to make that smaller either...arghhhh).
Those two things have reduced the real estate and jammed the icons together on the screen so the text on many is unreadable.
It is SLOWER than the previous version by far.
PLEASE I beg you; somebody tell me how to revert to the previous version which I LOVED. Do you have the previous version in a format that will allow it to be installed?
I have saved the following files from my dropbox folder:
org.adw.launcher-20120314-212145.tar.gz --only 5.02 KB though ?? Sep 2012
org.adw.launcher-20120314-212145.properties
Jesus Christ! It is perfect. Are you that noobish? Everything is in the settings. I have no google bar and I made the dock smaller from settings.

Well, thank you for the smackdown.
No, not a newbie. No it is not perfect--that is your opinion, not a fact.
Then tell me how to get rid of Google bar; normal means do NOT give you the delete option.
I think you do not have the version I received in the update because there are NUMEROUS comments on Play market and one-star ratings about it. I seriously think you are running the next to current version which WAS nearly perfect (my opinion). The new version is a COMPLETE overhaul, which missed the mark. I believe this because EVERYBODY with the new version has the Google bar.
Mind telling how in settings you made it smaller (I don't mean fewer icons, I mean smaller in height.)
Thanks so much for your willingness to help people.

See atch for pic of home screen.
Why do you even read these boards if you are so high and mighty that if someone knows less than you, you berate them?
I have looked in the settings. In the new version, the options are completely different. What I have said is true. All you can do is complain about me having the audacity to ask for help on a help board.
You are a jerk.
If there is anyone reading who can contribute substantively, I would appreciate your help. I will not answer this jerk any more, so he will have the opportunity to take another low class shot at me, as I will not reply to an idiot.

I also have the feeling that these people have not even seen the new version which came out today, and which is the one I am describing.
Oh, just noticed another change, the navigation dots left and right of the dock have disappeared.

I'm just pissed coz the update was so good yet people complain. Anyways I'm gonna answer you're question
You can disable the Google bar in ADW Settings>Screen>Actionbar Design>Disabled
The Dock Icon Size is on ADW Settings>App Dock>Dock icons scale. (If that's what you meant)
Now tell me is that too difficult? Is it difficult to just experiment on the new settings? The developer put a lot of time in updating that app so please appreciate it.
And yes I'm a jerk. Thanks!
---------- Post added at 02:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 AM ----------
And as for the new update is much slower thingy. Try ADW Settings>System>Advanced Settings>Keep in Memory off, Wallpaper Hack off and Scrolling cache disabled. Also turn off transitions if you want more speed.

Ah, actual help. Now I appreciate that. I had not found the Google bar control because I did not expect it to be labeled 'actionbar.' You are right; it is there and now disabled.
And for the Dock size, I was looking at the options called, ummmm, Dock Size. The 'scale' was off screen and I just flat missed it. See how easy it was just to tell me the answer?
I will now go check the other things mentioned for speed, which is noticeably slower than before.
LATER: OK changed all of those. When I backed out to the desktop screen, it was BLANK for about 5-10 seconds as it had been doing in this version, then populated. i.e., no change. That never happened in the previous version.
Help to find the navigation dots left and right of the dock, to get them back on?
Come on!! Play more with the.launcher!!

Are you from another planet where they don't even know how to talk and thank?
You can't even type the word "Thanks" nor hit the "Thanks" button for sorting out your problem. All i can see from the first is that you can only complain and nothing more. Stay cool and have a bit of courtesy as well. Learn to thank people when you're helped.
You know, you really gotta learn man. Am forcing myself to say this by seeing your messages and rudeness. Not to offend you in anyway but just making it a point.
Wow.
I do appreciate the help--which was finally offered only after smackdowns and replying pointing out that I was being given put downs instead of help. THEN the help came.
For a help forum, this particular thread has been populated with the most uppity people I've seen in a long time. OK, you are smarter than me. Make you feel good? You sure like putting down people who are stumped, when it is so easy for you, and you FAIL to see how someone else is having a problem--and berate them instead of helping.
What kind of place is this, where you are expected to know how to do it before you ask how to do it? That is insane, to say the least.
I do appreciate the help. I do not appreciate the put downs and having to drag it out by posting about the obvious non-responsiveness.
YOU ARE SMARTER. YOU ARE MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE. I am in awe of your ability. I am not in awe of your unwillingness to share it, and am totally puzzled as to why you even read on a help board when you are unwilling to help--except by being cajoled into it.

CM10 Rom Help

I have been trying to figure out two things with this ROM that perhaps someone can point in the right direction on:
1. WI-FI tether seems to be inconsistent, slow or not useable when tethered to my New Ipad compared to the speed I get directly to my phone. Not looking for exact same speed, just basic functionality. Is there any special settings I need to configure to make it work better?
2. Gmail - Why can't I email out to my gmail groups? I used to be able to when it was stock and even rooted...a basic function that I need multpile times daily and REALLY need a work around fast.
Thanks a ton!
You should try the CM10 thread or Q&A.
I would love to but don't know where that is at.
Thanks

Posting something once in the wrong location. Okay sure no problem... but posting it TWICE one after another, in the same wrong location... come on...
And then, trying to placate your ignorance by giving some BS excuse about not knowing where it's at...? If you have the ROM and have it installed, you've obviously been around enough to know how to go about getting it which would incidentally make it equally as possible that you could find where it's at.
It's quite obvious that you posted here because you thought it was going to get "more attention."
I refuse to condone these actions, and thus I will not help you. Good luck to you, sir.

Back on xda after a year

Hello Xda users,
I used to have an account and be pretty active on here, went to go log in and Bazinga!!
Oh well no biggie... I am back up. I am currently running a Sprint s3 and loving it, had almost every sprint smart phone/pda since day one.
I am tying to get a rom up and going, haven't cooked one in a while. Any tips pointers or new methods would be appreciated. I am probably going to start doing what I used and find roms that I enjoy and see if I cant link up with the developer and help move the rom in a better direction.
Currently I am running the [ROM] Unofficial Synergy ROM Port "working multiwindow with very little issues.I have figured out a way around all the kernel/signal loss issues and the reported force closes. Went to the post to try and assist other users in fixing the problem.....and BAM!
I don't have sufficient privileges to post in that forum. .:crying: Don't get me wrong it is a good way to keep "NOOBS" from asking the same questions over and over.. and the people that haven't figured out how to properly use the search feature. But wow 10 post?!?!?
Well one post down and 9 to go.
Look forward to seeing you all in the forums and feel free to send message and or questions about your issues and I will try to help you as much as possible.

[Q] CWM Recovery from GT-I9195 on SCH-l435?

Every day I get up and think to myself "there are only two things left that I'd like to do in terms of tweaking this phone":
The first is a succesful implementation of the v6 supercharger script, which at the moment has to be run manually. That's because there's a bug with SManager Script Manager that only effects Samsung devices. I'm in communication with the developer and that will hopefully be remedied soon.
The other is what I'd like to ask all of you about. It's regarding CWM Recovery.
My impatience has google repeatedly bringing me back to the same article on how to root/cwm GT-I9195.
Namely, this link: http://www.andromint.com/root-install-cwm-recovery-samsung-galaxy-s4-mini/
Now, my phone is SCH-l435 (Verizon). I'm already rooted. Are the odds good that CWM from GT-l9195 would work on my device?
Talk me down, wisers. Talk me down.

If u can provide him with some info about your phone maybe he can help u out
Follow what fburgos did for I9192 and do the same
Don`t bother him on PM just mention him on that topic and wait patiently
If anything I've been working on it since last night, took a nap and I am back at it today, either way it shouldn't be long from now
Thanks, both of you. I'll check out the links as well this weekend.
As for your effort to get it going, wow ... you've got my gratitude!
Let me know if there's any way I can help. I'm not a developer but I am programmatically tech-savvy.
