[Q] AOKP Questions - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a few questions about the AOKP rom for the Samsung epic 4g:
1. Is this an MTD rom(im pretty sure it is)
2. If I flash AOKP from CM9 and don't like it and I made a backup from CM9, can I restore that backup and all my apps and preferences will be restored, or no?
3. If I flash AOKP will I lose all my apps from CM9.
4. What are the differences between CM9 and AOKP- mainly battery life and performance?

I will try to answer some of your questions.
1) Yes it is MTD
2) Since they are both MTD, if you make a nandroid of CM9, you should be able to switch back with no problem.
3)Someone else will probably know this one better than me.
4) I know they both come from the same source and are similar but from what I've read AOKP has the better battery life. I'm not sure if performance is much different.

Mainly aokp has more features. You don't have to wipe and your apps will stay.

That is usually recommended for best results but not needed for coming from another ICS ROM. Run a nandroid, wipe Dalvik and cache and flash.

The devs were especially asserting this during the change in builds from Android 4.0.3 to merged Android 4.0.4 a few releases ago..............also for those jumping from other ROMs, but as it has been stated you're ok to not have to wipe coming from CM9...............or else just wipe the two caches prior to flashing + remember to flash GApps 20120317 (+ be sure to make a Nandroid!)
.........sent from today's android = 4.0.4

Ok, so I flashed AOKP but there is just one problem and I also have one question:
1. when I toggle "Enable bar" in the notification bar settings and it says to reboot, when I reboot my status bar dissapears!
(2.) In CM9 there was a toggle in the status bar that toggled 3g, Is there a mod for this in AOKP?

Quick question: Does roaming work on the latest build?
Thanks!

don't think theres a mod JUST for that. but try flashing a blue aokp theme maybe if you like the blue. just remove everything from the theme except i guess systemui.apk and romcontrol.apk and flash and you should be set.

Google replacing boot animation on android phone. It is as simple as finding one, downloading the bootanimation.zip and replacing it in system\media on your phone with something like root explorer.

IDK if you used my CWM package as your base, but the font's weren't symlinked in the updater script so sammy keyboard and facebook are broken.

In the sound settings, all tick boxes are checked for vibration and the intensity turned up. I only ask because I never noticed these settings in GB (unless I totally missed it), and you just never know.
Posted a zip to flash new kernel in OP and Dev Thread to fix Vibration issue..
what sthe real different between kernels? Which has better battery life RACing?
Racing19969, you're a god damn hero. When I get paid I'll send you some beer money.
Would this kernel work on the Skyrocket R2 ROM to fix the vibration intensity?
Does lock screen weather work on this ROM? Netflix?

So... other than the vibrate fix, does anyone has a convincing reason to flash the other kernal? I could give 2 poops about vibrate, I'm in love with this new leak.

Had the vibration issue, with is big for me, and it wasn't reading my SD card.
Also, I ended up going back to the Skyrocket port by Racer for the custom stock theme that I was able to install. When I tried flashing the rom I got a blank screen of death, so I reverted back.
I can live without Netflix and a camcorder for now. I'm in love with the Skyrocket port Rom, it's been amazing for me thus far. If it ain't broke don't fix it, though I do want to eventually upgrade.
I deff like this kernel better than the previous thanx for the fix everything seems to be working

[maybe?] aokp themes

what would it take to make themes like
this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527525
or this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1512762
work with aokp on our devices?
i realize its the same theme but one's for 32 and 31, as well as one being for the gNEX and the other for NS4G. I know gsm phones make a difference, but what? And how can they work? Im gonna do some testing a little later so wish me luck. lol
I've been waiting for this thread to pop up. How difficult is it to port AOKP themes to our device, or even create our own?
the ns4g theme will work for us, its been mentioned in the before through out the thread
So, the thing for me, is that it sucks trying to track down themes that will work with this phone. In the rules, we're not allowed to post anything we haven't made. What can we do to make it easier to find working AOKP themes here?
Make a thread with links giving proper credit to the actual creators.

I've also flashed galaxy nexus themes over aokp. They have so many over there. I just couldn't get rid of the navigation bar. Probably because they need it on there's. Maybe I just got lucky by flashing them but not my fault if you mess something up.

Would you mind saying what you did to brick it. I want to flash some galaxy nexus themes but am not sure how to. I would assume it would be:
Odin el26 recovery
Flash Theme
Flash ICS kernel
reboot
Correct?
Edit: Was it because that theme was for the GSM galaxy nexus???

getting the top scroll bar

i know that's the wrong name but if i odin back to el30 is there a way to get that top bar that you can scroll through 4g, auto rotation, data etc or is that only a feature cooked into roms? thanks
Most good TW custom roms (the peoples rom, CleanGB) have the quickpanelsettings app built in so you can modify your status bar power control. However CM9 w/ reloaded mod and stock AOKP can do this as well through their own methods.

I'm currently running Viscious jb ROM. I miss the features on aokp to customize the Nav bar. Is there a quick/flashable way to just add a menu button? I would like to have them in this order. Back, home, menu, tasks. I know there are soft key mods out but they also have battery themes to them, correct? I just want to flash a new nav bar only. Thanks!

I tried the mod from here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/29153-mod-411-jelly-bean-soft-key-mods-with-menu-and-search-stockbb/. It worked for me on stock 4.1.1, not sure if it would work for the ROM you're running.
It doesn't mod the battery and adds just the menu key, but it also doesn't put the four nav keys in the order you want.
Thanks for the reply. I found that thread before. If there's no easy way the way I want it, looks like I'll have to modify it then. I'm just too lazy these days

I just flashed it back when I was on bigxie's deodexed stock 4.1.1 (JRO03C), and it worked perfectly for me. But like always, it's probably a good idea to make a nandroid to be safe before flashing.

Already tried it and it didn't work maybe because my rom is completely stock odexed. About the backup I always do it, and I even backed up the SystemUI separately, thank you for the information.

Not many mods will work for you if you're on an odexed ROM, I'm guessing that's what went wrong.
