Cant get Power Control widget back... need some help - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Last night I installed legendary Rom, but after installation, my Power widget didnt show up.... I tried clearing data/cache, re-installing, same thing. I have tried a few techniques advised on these forums with no luck. Today I installed ACS ICS ROM, and still no luck. Will I ever get this widget back? Anyone have any advice?

I had this very problem after flashing Legendary rom. The actual icons for each button on the widget weren't showing up.
I removed the widget from all screens. Then after doing about 5 reboots, fixing permissions and doing a backup in CWM, the widget returned to normal.
Weird bug. I also made sure to do an md5 checksum comparison before I installed the rom too.

Not necessarily.
During my upgrade process, I decided to ditch all my data and start with 100% fresh on stock before going custom. So I ODIN'ed back to EC05 before moving to EI22. Once on EI22, I then put Legendary rom on my phone and noticed this power control widget bug.

Yeah, I may Odin back to ec05.

I had the same problem with the power control widget on the Legendary Rom. No biggie: I used Widgetsoid to create a better power control widget.

This happened on the rom I am on as well. Put the widget on your homescreen and give it about ten minutes. The icons should appear eventually.

[Q] Legendary Rom 2.2 Black Screen

I am currently running Legendary Rom 2.2 on my Samsung Epic 4G. The only problem I'm having is that the screen will sometimes not turn back on. My keyboard still lights up and occasionally I will hear the unlock sound. Sometimes it takes a minute to turn back on, and sometimes I just have to remove the battery and reboot my Phone. Does anybody know why the screen would do this or have any idea on how this can be fixed?
Try flashing a different kernel.

I tried disabling the 100mhz and 900mhz settings but it was still useless. What version of Samurai could I flash to fix this?

Thank you so much! It looks like the new samurai kernel works awesome. I haven't had any screen problems so far and the feel of everything is very nice.
How does the shadow kernel compare to samurai?

They are very similiar as both developers work together on the core. Shadowkernel has voodoo color defaults that work awesome with my phone so no need to run the voodoo control app and waste resources on my phone.

i yet still have to try that, the voodoo color part. i didn't download that in the version i installed.

If you have 1.04 voodoo color is already in. If you didn't notice then the defaults are good for you too.

Urban precision v2 rom function problem

Ok, u guys know that last night I installed the urban precision v2 rom. The akward part is, it was working fine for awhile, and then a couple hrs later, I started having all kinds of problems. My phone froze up, no buttons wanted to work and it was rebooting all kinds of ways. Especially the fact it rebooted into cwm and then it also when into download mode. I had to pull the battery, go into cwm. Do a factory reset and restore my nandroid back to cleangb. Can this sudden issue be a problem with the rom or kernel? Plus when it was working fine with this rom at the begining, my phone was running super fast. I mean like no lag what so ever. So any idea what may caused this sudden issue? Cuz I honestly don't know.

Also its the lockmod on urban precision that is causing your problems of reboots get on legendary and use the samurai kernel tw.bml.ronin5

Random reboots

I was on Calkulins ics 1.4 and just switched to CM9. I was and still am getting random reboots on both of these. The only thing that's stayed the same is my FD02 modem. I have not updated it yet. Could the modem/version cause issues like this or is it most likely something else?

Did it happen when you were running Gingerbread? I have heard this is not too uncommon when running the ICS leaks because they are not final yet. Also I hope you have a Epic touch because in your post it says you are using a Motorola Startac. If that is the phone you are using, you are on the wrong forum.
Also what root method did you use? When I first got my phone I rooted using the root that gives you the yellow triangle and I got crazy random reboots and random shut downs. I returned to stock then re rooted using Sfhubs latest root method and I have not had one problem since.
Are you using SetCPU?

Its a known issue with the FC and FD leaked builds. It has been getting progressively better with each new leak. If you're in a good reception area you should be ok. Most resets are occurring when going in and out off 4G roaming.
The only real fix at this point is to go back to an FB build (I think FB27 was the last one without the reset issue)or Gingerbread.
It didn't happen on GB. Only on Calkulins last rom and CM9. Not using SetCPU. I'll try an older modem before I go back to GB.
Also has there been issues where after opening an app the menu box starts popping up without touching the menu button? It happens in my Gmail, browser (stock), and Waze GPS. I also only noticed this on these last couple ics roms.

Ya, from what I have seen that is also a known issue. I would go back to Gingerbread. I am not switching untill everything is smooth and stable.
Same problem here. I was doing fine and dandy on the GB kernels and roms and then i made the switch to the Venum/CM9 and everything just started rebooting. I went back to stock rom/kernel el 29 but i still get reboots. I've tried everything and i just have to narrow things down.

Random instant reboot?

I've been on aokp milestone 5.2 for a few days and I didn't know if it was related to the rom or something I did or whatever but I'll be texting or on Facebook or doin something and my phone will just go to the boot animation of the pink unicorn. And I should probably mention that the colors are out of whack for a few seconds before it goes back to normal and boots up.
Edit: Everything's still there when it boots up everything's where it should be and nothing is missing or anything it just literally reboots instantly without warning or notice.
Edit: Could it be that I'm using advanced task killer? I figured it was okay since it was on the high security level setting, just throwing that out there
Thanks for any help.

No solution to this? It's the same as when I posted this thread, 100% random as far as I can tell. I don't notice anything specific that I'm doing when the reboots happen either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've got no help but I can say that this ROM ran totally smooth for me for a while and then suddenly got laggy, and apps have begun not responding regularly.

It is usually either a kernel panic or running out of RAM. You could try the V6 Supercharger for the RAM issue. As for the other I would always try odin clean stock then root and flash ROM and do not restore any data. Download and reinstall 3rd party apps fresh.

Use to happen to me also when i was on AOKP. I only noticed it when i was listening to my music tho....all my VC settings stayed the same after it booted back up so like you said it was just a random reboot. I installed V6 and that worked for the most part. The reboots did start back later on down the road tho.....

If by stock battery you mean the battery it came with then yes. I'm also running aggressive settings with v6 supercharger.
My only real concern was if it was damaging my phone in any way, or if something had already been damaged. But as I've said I really can't see anything out of whack aside from the reboots and colors. (the colors get inverted or negative or something for a few seconds on pink unicorn boot animation then goes back to normal and boots up)

This also happens to me. Same way. But usually when backing out of a text or when ending a phone call. Stock battery. V6 and no v6. Stock kernel and nyan, sammi, and shadow. What I noticed about the reboot is that it doesn't scan sd card or media.

Solution to this is to go back to a TW based rom...try sleeper or the peoples rom, joy and profit

Cm7 dropped keys and swype issues.

So I'm running cm7 with nyan kernel and when I type on my keyboard it sometimes misses a character. Is this kernel related would flashing another kernel fix it? I remember this was a problem back on froyo and there was the flashable zips to fix it but I haven't seen anything like that in a while.
Also, I restored a backup of my swype keyboard (the blue one from most of the tw themes) and it works perfectly, but everytime I reboot I get all these FC's on it and it doesn't go away until I restore "app only" in tb. Its not that big of a problem but its annoying. Is there any way to get rid of that? I believe it also is a cm7 related issue since it didn't happen to me on tw or cm9.

I've had a similar problem with CM9 Nightly on Nyan ICS. Once I unrooted back to stock using ODIN and rooted again (clean install) with the same ROM, with a different kernel this time, my keyboard seemed to run smooth.
My keyboards problem was it would disappear outta the blue.. I had to exit out of my messaging app completely, sometimes even thatt wouldn't do it.
Hope that helps somehow!
