[Q][Help] Bluetooth + lockmod = fail - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all--I've done a search on this and even asked at one point in Maddoggin's thread...
I tried the new stability ROM that toadlife posted in the Dev forum, and it's been fantastic. I was using CM7 (thanks Deca), but use 4G a lot, so wanted to test out another daily driver.
Problem: I hate the stock lockscreen and lack of battery %.
So, I decide to flash ACS's ICS theme, which includes lockmod. Everything works beautifully...except when I go to make a phone call using bluetooth...when I do, the phone crashes and reboots.
This last crash was so bad, it somehow wiped out my phone/contacts app...meaning, it's not there anymore...not on the app list, and even Titanium shows it as missing.
This crash ONLY happens when I flash lockmod on top of an EH17 ROM. Otherwise, my bluetooth functions 100% normally. I have had zero crashes on CM7, for instance.
It *HAS* to be something to do with EH17 + lockmod, because I don't get the error stock or with other custom ROMs.
Does *anyone* have any idea what's going on? I'm baffled...lockmod doesn't touch the Bluetooth stack as far as I know...so, yeah . . .

I don't use bluetooth but I use the headset that came with the phone and the same exact thing happens. As soon as I make a call the phone reboots and when it comes back my contacts are completely gone. I was on the stock deodex from deca when this happened. It sucks cause the status bar mod is awesome.

[q] acs syndicate rom question

im currently running the latest acs syndicate rom on the ec05 modem. when i try to text a large message, the receiver of the message receives a bunch of gibberish. my friend is running the same version and the same thing happens to him. i wiped x3 and im running the erebos theme. is anyone else having these problems?
I recommend you post this on the roms actual fourm. I'm on syndicate frozen and I'm experiencing tones of problem.I'm just to lazy to fix them so I do temporary fixes like since messaging app fcs I use go sms.
Try another app.

Any FC's are the result of one of the following:
1. Bad flash (Keep 3x wiping and flashing until success, this is mostly CWM's doing)
2. Data Corruption (You haven't enabled journaling, and had a crash/battery pull)
3. Bad Data Restore (MyBackup/Titanium imported bad data, try clean installing)
If freezing is occurring, look for Genocide or Vision kernel. I am running the latest ACS on two Epics concurrently, and the only replicable problem is with the web browser freezing, which should be fixed in the next release. The only variable in your situation that I can't speak for is the Erebos theme, although I shouldn't suspect problems with that.

Guys i really don't have time to be working on a rom that i don't even have a device for. Im so sorry guys, i would love to continue my work here but i think its time for me to move to the Nexus 7, if you have a Nexus 7 you can find my latest rom over there. I will leave glazed ICS and Simple CM9 open, but i no longer will be supporting them. This rom is DEAD.
Just like Google Chrome Says
"Jim, He's Dead"
or was it
"You Killed Him Jim"​
Close ME Please
Awesome looking good. I thought you were going to stop doing roms for the kindle. I'm happy your still going to make Roms!!
gapps included I assume from the filesize?
Very happy to see you release this. Downloading and flashing now

Good news, can't wait to flash this to my KF!
Nice ROM, but the recent apps list button makes everything but the power, home, and back buttons unresponsive.
I have that problem, too. That is the only problem besides anything else. But everything else is top notch!

Had a few problems. Did full wipe, install with default launcher.
System very sluggish. Changing to tablet UI freezes system with the phone UI navigation about 4/5ths of the way IP the screen. Hard reboot, tablet UI now active.
Antutu benchmark 5000+ before any apps restored, system still sluggish though. System freezes a few times once gmail sync begins, hard reboots required. Noticed a few other issues, but have forgotten them, had to restore to eyecandy JB to keep.things running. Will definitely keep trying each new build.
Thanks

Great installer! It gives more flexibility and stability, as you don't have to mess around with mods after.
I installed over the Glazed ICS.
All was good until I tried to hide the statusbar by swiping, as I had this setting put in ICS. The disappeared statusbar and shortly after that KF just froze.
Tried a few times, but still wasn't able to go to settings and make changes as it kept freezing after hiding statusbar this way.
Even after clean install hiding statusbar FC-es the system UI.
Another strange bug, that is common to all JB ROMs is that Button Savior is not working. Why that?
Antutu gave me 5180, so its still to work to get the same performance as ICS, just as the battery drain. Hope to see this soon.
Great beta! Waiting for next update!
Yeah i realize there are many problems that need to be fixed, thats why its a beta, twa_priv is updating his rom that i use as a base and next update i will release a newer beta 0.2. Hope that can solve more issues in the future.

Toggling the status bar using edge swipe works perfectly fine in my 20120719-0403 build - which is the build you took as a base.
The rom is very good
I like your rom little while ago 4.04rom full screen to see the movie would like to close the return key and the main page will disappear, and 4.11 this new rom will change, there is hope for energy saving ina under the point of effort!

Rom just got updated
I added Stock KF option in Aroma, it still needs testing but if you choose it, you will get the stock launcher with video and all that other stuff. Anyone who tests it please report back with results,
I did a full wipe and installed the kf launcher but the browser and Amazon video both constantly fc

[11/16][Trailblazer101 MOD] Use Grip Sensor to Control Music + MOAR Rotation

One of best features of the continuum is the unique Ticker, which I love to mod directly... But what tends to go unnoticed is the grip sensors that come along with it...
But now, I've tapped into this un-thought-of potential to give you the "Control Your Music With the Grip Sensor" Mod..
What this does is allows you to control your music, whether it be the stock music player, or Play Music, with the Grip sensor by double tapping... You double tap on the left grip sensor, and it brings you back to the previous song (or the beginning of the original song, depending on the length you've been listening to said song), and if you do the same with with the right it will bring you to the next song!
Now you don't even have to turn on the ticker to change your music!
But that's not all! This mod also includes an update to the rotation aware feature I have released recently. Now, instead of just the Standby Screen, the Quick Launch screen and the Missed Notification View screen rotate also! A small update will probably be released soon-ish that will rotate the Ticker History Button within the Music Player, New Message, and Ticker Tape View, too!
This package includes the mods mentioned above, and all the others that came before it, including:
1) Rotation Aware
2) blah blah blah... hahah
3) Modified Browser (aka, more tabs, no 'locked' bookmarks, google search, etc)
VIDEO:
If some wants to upload a video of them having their phone off, and double tapping the grip sensor to move within songs, go ahead! haha.. You could also show off the rotation aware aspect of the ticker, too, if you wanted I will feature it here

thank you for doing all the work. got any ideas why the phone would continue to drop 3g covered. i no longer have a 3g data connection again.
The 3g issue wouldn't be because of anything that I did; instead, it'd just be a bug within this leaked build... Or maybe a bad flash/setup... I've noticed myself the 3g being spotty, but I never use it really so it's no big deal...
And I'll upload the (hopefully) fixed package tomorrow, with rotation of even more stuffs, haha

oh in no way do i think it's anything you have done. I'm just trying to figure out what that is because that's what i rely on for internet a lot of time. it seems to be fine on stock but when i flash to deodex i've lost it twice and have to go back to ec09 to get back. i'll just stick with odex and debloat and see if it's something i'm removing. look forward to the new package. love the updates you're working on.
I only noticed 3g dropping a couple times, and it always came back after a restart, but I was having major issues with some apps/processes not running correctly... G-maps/nav was almost unusable, notifications not working, multitasking was a joke, and my logcat was full of errors and always had seemingly random stuff running. About a week ago I was just about to reflash everything but decided to try the "fix permissions" in CWM first. I research it a little, and some said it would fix stuff, others seemed to think it caused the phone to burst into flames I tried it, and my phone is running great... Apps work, maps work, can run nav and listen to music at the same time again, and my logcat is clean with only the battery updater running. This phone has never worked this well.
So, long story short, if you have to reflash again anyway, try fixing permissions... If you haven't already.

Alright, uploaded the new package Let me know if it fixes the quick settings icon in the status bar, and you should be able to "swipe" to clear the notification in the status bar (as long as they aren't ongoing, of course )
and... I got it, but I didn't get notified :| Let me respond now...
Hey TB, just a question and/or FYI... When the phone is in landscape mode and I go into the custom ticker apps, it won't let me scroll left/down to get to the two apps on the other side of the "X" button. Didn't know if this was intentional or not. Not a big deal, the only times it is in landscape is in the car dock or playing a game, but thought I would ask about it. This is still the best work you've done on this phone! I've been showing off the grip music control and people think it's awesome!
Sent from my SCH-I400 using xda app-developers app
That's normal, unfortunately It's an unwanted side effect with using the HorizontalScrollView layout I set it up with... No big deal though
I just finished another project of mine: triple tapping the weather icon will update the said icon and the weatherbug widget... That's for the moments when it doesn't sync, and you don't want to have to hit the little "refresh" button on the widget (Which was a lot for me )
Don't worry, I did finish the the settings mod, where you can choose what you want, this and that, but I am gonna release everything when I am done with the semester
Hey TB! Thought we had lost you!
My 3g went out on my phone, so verizon sent another one. Right now I'm running stock ec09,just rooted and debloated. I'm torn between staying on this that just works, or upgrading for all the new features and dealing with a few bugs. I think I'm going to wait until I can get a new phone and then flash everything back... That way if something goes wrong I can just get a new phone. But.... If you release this then I'll have to try it. Lol
Btw, your Holo launcher mod works fine in froyo!

[Q] DISABLE audio controls on lockscreen

I'm running Vanilla Rootbox 4.0 ROM, but this has bugged me with other ROMs for quite some time. I guess when 4.1 or 4.2 came out, Android started making audio controls on lockscreen available. That's wonderful for people that want them, but I HATE them. I've searched off and on for months to find out how to turn them off and all I ever find is people saying how glad they are to have them. No one seems to want to disable them completely, as I do. Can anyone please help me? I want the lock screen to look exactly the same no matter what apps are running on my phone.
What music player are you using (I'm assuming stock?) I honestly haven't seen a way on how to remove the stock controls except by using another music player. I use PowerAmp and I never get the lockscreen controls.
Hope it helps

ANYTHING that plays sound does it. The stock music player, Pandora, Slacker Radio. Heck, even Mort Player (audiobooks) shows the controls when it's running.

Hmmm that's odd.
And you've looked thru all the settings in both apps and ROM settings right?
It might be hidden in there somewhere.
I'm on AoCP and I never get the controls

Boy I sure would be happy if it were that simple and I was just blind, but I'm not seeing it anywhere. Closest thing I can see is in the AOKP settings (Rootbox is an AOKP and CM hybrid) for the lockscreen where it lists an option to control music volume with the volume keys from the lockscreen. This setting doesn't affect the widget though.
Thanks for the suggestions though!
I've been reading a bit about AoCP and I may just have to give it a run. I hate wiping my device and spending a whole day setting everything back up, but this issue is really irritating me and it seems like lots of people are very happy with AoCP.

Just use Tinanium Backup to make a flash able zip of all your apps or use the app alone to back up apps and data so that next time you flash it just takes you 3 minutes to set up everything

I've tried that and had it fail horribly on me in the past. The only time I've been able to restore backups made with TB has been when restoring to the same version ROM. A couple times I made a backup, flashed a completely different ROM, went to restore and was unable to. So I just don't even trust it anymore when it comes to flashing ROMs.
Question though since you're obviously knowledgeable about AoCP and I'm too much of a n00b to post in the AoCP thread. The thread says:
AoCP_I747_CP5.6 -dev host link
This is 3.4 kernel base and it is very stable
AoCP_I747_5.6-kernel -dev host link
Just so I'm clear here, do I need to install the top link AND THEN install the kernel link as well? I haven't messed with any ROMs where a separate kernel download was given, so I just want to be sure I don't cause more issues for myself.
Just download the ROM and gapps (which you should have if you've ran any 4.2.2 ROMs )
No extra steps or anything
5.6 should be the release right now.
There is more goodies coming really soon
But the dev.host link should be it

Thanks jayRokk. I got AoCP installed without issue. Not a bad ROM, though I prefer Rootbox better. Too many extras I've gotten used to, I guess. The bigger issue, however, is that I had the same issue with AoCP. The stock music app did not show any controls on the lock screen, but everything else did. I did a complete wipe before flashing and cleared davlik both before and after flashing, so I'm positive it's not some weird setting I have somewhere that's managed to carry over from ROM to ROM.
I am 100% with you on this. I hate the lock screen controls and can not find a single thread about deleting them. I'll watch this thread and let you know if I find anything.

Widget locker disables the notification bar when locked.... you do have to buy it though... I tried it and does work.

I don't want to disable the notification bar thou. I don't even want to disable all lock screen widgets just the music controls. I love dashclock. That's what I want of my default lock screen. If the music controls could even be moved to a second lock screen like the camera that would be awesome. I guess I should say I'm on CM. I have no idea how touchwiz handles these things.

Exactly this. While I certainly appreciate the responses from everyone trying to help, the idea of spending $3.00 on a 3rd party app just to fix what, IMO, is a pretty major oversight (just give me a setting in a menu to enable/disable it) is a very hard pill to swallow. I currently use Lockscreen Policy to disable the camera and all secondary widget screens. I've emailed the developer to see if they could add the ability to disable the music controls as well, but haven't heard anything back. ALL I want on my lock screen is time, date, battery and next alarm, which the stock locker and dashclock give me. If only I could disable the $%^#@ audio controls!

E4GT-Virgin Mobile-ROM's, mods, etc that work for me..

I thought I'd post a list of roms, mods, etc., that work on my VM phone and any issues and workarounds.
I'm too lazy to include links, but search is your friend.
Hopefully this will help VM users who are somewhat reluctant to mod their phones.
ROMs:
1. CyanogenMod and other AOSP roms.
Stable for the most part and easy to install, what's not to like?
Data.
For me, data speeds on ICS modem firmwares aren't as fast (esp. 4G) as the stock TW GB28.
However I haven't seen a lot of complaints on the subject, so Your Mileage May Vary™.
GPS.
Working GPS requires that after each reboot I toggle GPS on, off, and then back on.
It works normally until the next reboot after which it's wash, rinse, and repeat.
Messaging.
Working SMS/MMS requires either manually editing the APN or flashing the Virgin Mobile SMS/MMS fix found in the Android Development thread.
Graphics.
I use GPS Test+ a lot, and there are graphic corruption issues on the little global map.
From what I could find, the problem is something about Samsung's Mali-400 drivers.
2. Sprint GB27 stock rom mods.
Everything just works™, except for messaging and any issues noted in the threads.
Messaging's a simple fix though, just use ##DATA# and edit the mms settings from Sprint's to VM's.
I also suspect that the update profile and prl in settings don't work, but I'm not brave enough to try.
3. jdsingle's 'Debloated/Deodexed Virgin Mobile GB28' rom.
This is my daily driver.
The only issue is that if you click on 'connections optimizer' in settings, the phone locks up, as jd removed it.
To me, this is a nothingburger. If you're a VM customer, I *highly* recommend this rom.
Mods.
1. tdunham's AIO mods.
The only issues for me are that the '3G' graphic signal bars don't work and under settings it says the network is 'unknown'.
The included hack for the built in tether app works perfectly on GB28.
2. Xposed framework.
No problems using it with the XPrivacy and Master Key fix apps.
I did notice some system slowdown when adding theming apps, though.
3. Agat's kernels.
Work perfectly.
Enough said.
These are the major ones I've tried so far.

Your build makes it easier to roll in system app updates, and that is something I appreciate.
That said, here's 2 more mods that work for me on stock GB28 TW.
1. tdunham's power menu mod
It says it's for FL16 Jellybean, but it works perfectly on my stock GB28 rom.
Sure beats shutting down and then holding power+volume up every time I want to go into recovery.
Unlike most 3rd party apps like power toggles that offer reboot/recovery buttons, I don't get an 'unclean shutdown' message from No Frills CPU Control on reboot after using this mod.
2. Kobridge's GB27v1.1a system UI mod
Center clock and snazzy icons.
What's not to love?
Caps below.
Links!
OP - you need to throw out some links to this stuff. I tried looking up "jdsingle's Debloated/Deodexed Virgin Mobile GB28 rom" on Google and came up empty handed. I am interested in your post, but it means nothing if I can't find it!
