I know you can flash a rom to get touchwiz, but is it stable and working good on this device? Also, is there a way to get Touchwiz without flashing a rom?
I am also having a problem with my OTA update screaming every four hours, I did the file explorer but I am not 100 percent sure which files to do what with if someone could help with that as well? Thanks so much!!

First off there is no TouchWiz based ROM for this device. As for the launcher you can find many TouchWiz themed launchers in the Play Store you've just gotta do a bit of searching. And for you last problem I couldn't quite understand you there, maybe you could elaborate it a little.
What I mean is my notification update is screaming every four hours for me to update it. I have a file explorer but I done know which file to move so it will shut up. Is that clear enough? Not sure what else I can say, I have looked it up but I can't figure out which file.
OMG, I spend hours removing anything resembling TouchWiz and someone actually wants it.

No need to remove files. just pull the notification bar, hold your finger on the software update warning until the info button pops out. then in the info page of the app, hit force stop. you may need to do it every time you reboot but it sure beats looking at the annoying message all the time
Thanks soooooo freaking much!!!! We have been hitting the every four hours thing for a month now. Yeah I just like the looks of TouchWiz, I am not fond of Sense at all. I like the LG ui pretty good, does any flashable roms look like either LG or Samsung ui?

is there a way to edit it? This must have been asked a million times, but i don't mean with widget locker or lockbot or something like that. I find the clock tacky, since the notification bar is right there and i want to remove it. i'd imagine it would require rooting. thanks
yes
yes requires rooting because you would have to modify a theme zip like a stock theme then modify the .PNG then flash ....atleast thats the only way i know about it
You need to be rooted and running a deodexed rom. You then would have to do some xml edits to remove the clock

ok thanks guys. while i've rooted before, my epic still has the new phone smell and i'm still babying it. but could you help with this? is there a locking app that either:
1. overwrites that xml file or w.e. so that it is not active at the same time. (so they aren't fighting for domination?)
2. keeps the functionality of being able to swipe to missed texts, calls, e.t.c.
thanks.

There's different apps in the market that changes the lock screen. You might want to start looking into those

Those two are pretty much it as far as lockscreens that work on the epic. You can get the rotary lockscreen if you use the cm6 beta, which I have found to be quite stable. Other than that you are going to need an app rather than a flashable zip.

I would recommend GOTO. Its in the market. Its a paid app, but as you unlock you can choose between messages, phone and gmail. You can change which apps it opens if you don't use the stock programs. I have been using it for a month or so. Just make sure you run through the setup twice to make sure the settings are set correctly. Initial setup is kind of tricky i though. Just my 2 cents. Hope it helps.
Well for about 2 weeks I have been running nocturnals bliss version 6 and I love it. There's bugs yes but the smoothest Rom I have had since I can remember. It's a great Rom just needs more bugs worked out but I can't seem to figure out why no ones doing it anymore. It's a great Rom and I have tried other 3.5 and nothing matches up. I love the two buttons app drawer and the call and the quick lunch. But over all its so smooth. So I'm just wondering if anyone picked this up or want to with me or if there's something that's the same but different. So just pm or message me if you guys have any ideas or want to help ect. So please help.
Sent from my EVO running bliss v6 3.5 sense using XDA App
Can anyone help me? Simple stuff needs fixed like usd disk drive wont pop up and that if you turn off or reboot the phone all the apps you installed get uninstalled but the app manager says there still in stalled just no as like facebook mor like .comfacebook and has a picture of the android market. So all in all can someone help me?
Or can someone help me with putting the little features like the app drawer button and the phone button on the main screen on another 3.5 sense rom? Because thats the best part other then the quick launch widget and how smooth it is. So anyone please help.
I don't specialize in sense, but you may want to back it up and try another sense rom, as nocturnal pulled their work on that rom due to drama basically.
Well can someone point me in the direction of fixing up this rom my self or mod others to have what i love about this the most?
those sound like some big bugs. dono if you want to try another rom as others mentioned but im running fearmede, they just released rc1 last noight after numerous betas and its butter, sense 3.5 and the fastest smoothest rom ive had so far.
But none of them have the two buttons thing that is my favorite.
You could try extracting the framework-res.apk and then flashing it in the new rom.
Hmmm Ill try it

You'll have to move it to the /system/app directory I believe, and once you replace it, you'll most likely get fcs immediately, just reboot at that point.

I'm saying it should work, but you'll get fcs because you replaced an apk in use, and need to reboot to make it stop.

Can i replace it in the zip and then flash?
Well that didnt work Anymore ideas?
So I got my phone about a week ago.. I rooted the phone right away because I wanted root options, but honestly, I didn't feel the need to put a rom on it.
With my GS2, I'll be honest, while I noticed many great things with great roms, there was always 1 things that never worked.. Wifi calling,weak gps signal, gps and bluetooth at the same time..
Whatever it was, there was always something..
While the wicked rom looks great, I'm worried about it, so I think I wanna stay stock (unless someone convinces me otherwise )
So, my "What do I do comment" is this.
After I rooted I downloaded someones .apk file that apparently removes bloatware to the stock phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2383951&page=2
14th post.
I'm not sure what was removed, but the bottom line, some things are not working with my phone now.. For example, whenever I try any of the air gestures like air jump/browse/move and so on, they simply don't work anymore, when I go to click try, I get a settings has stopped error.
While I wasn't too worried before, today I went to make a .gif with the camera, and maybe some of you think its cheesy I like that option and feature.. Well, that also gives me an error after I take the 5 second or whatever time, .gif.
I get an error.
So here I am.. wondering what to do, how would I even be able to go back to stock? is it possible ?? Should I man up and go with the wicked rom?? I just feel once you rom that's it, no matter what you're asking for other issues popping up.. While I appreciate all the hard work done by our modders, are they really more talented then the engineers at Samsung?? maybe they are?
You could flash a custom ROM or you could Odin flash a stock tar file to get you back to stock.
Any of the TW base ROM will give you Wi-Fi calling.

I was hoping someone would push me towards a rom
If I went with a rom, lets say I don't like it, could I follow that post ??
and go back to stock as if I never did a thing?
You could. Or you could flash a different rom.

Thanks. I've been posting more times than I can remember, long posts from memory, in response to many in the same situation. Now I'll just post this link
As I always say, but sometime don't practice, K.I.S.S.
thanks all.. Thanks for the link, I just put wicked rom on and so far this rom seems to be trouble free (knocking on wood)
I'll keep this link in mind just "in case"
I am trying to figure out how to add 180 degree rotation. I am on the wicked x7.3 Rom. I love the Rom, would like to add this for when I use navigation. I charge the phone when using nav and put the phone in my cup holder. Can't place it the right way due to the charging cord. Anyway, it did work with the xposed firmware,however I was getting SystemUI process. When making and receiving phone calls.
I don't have enough posts to post on the wicked Rom page.
Thanks for your time.

you can do a bunch of BS posts like saying hi to everyone that's how i got the posts i needed to finally post in the Dev thread and im on 7.2 let me see if i can make this work for you
edit:which Module did you use?
under wanam Xposed, then under system, then under enable all rotation including upside down (about halfway down)
Not sure about wicked, but yea, xposed with wanam does 180. I'm not having any issues though, with running xposed/wanam.
You may want to try Nova launcher? That'll get you a rotating home screen...

Again, it works when I do this, but then the phone calls get messed up. I found some old post with a file to put in the build.prop. it did nothing for me though, nothing changed.
To 180 degree
windowsmgr.support_rotation_180=true;
maybe the code is different with this ROM, I have no idea.

what exactly happens with your phone calls cause i have it working with wanam in xposed and my calling is good
edit: re read your OP does this happen when your phone is upside down? or in every direction?
I am currently using APEX, it also allows home screen rotation, but it only goes to landscape, not 180 degree. I will try to install NOVA later tonight or tomorrow and see. Thanks for the idea!
com.android.systemui or something like that. I can re install and let you know if you need the exact. This is when I hit the dial button or when I receive a call. I can't answer for several seconds until the screen refreshes.
It happens in any direction.
I have to wait 5 min between posts I guess, So my responses are slow, I apologize.
I am leaving work in a few also, so won't be able to respond while driving of course.
I appreciate your time by the way.
Either way, your helping me reach my 10 posts!!! So thank you for that also.
So I went back and unchecked everything I could in Wanan, then checked lock screen rotation and enable rotation, then installed with Xposed. Now all is well. I will do one thing at a time now on and test as I go.
There were several things checked by default I think? So something was corrupting the UI I guess. I will update if something changes, thanks for all the input.

I have been bricking and soft bricking for a few years now (only one hard brick thankfully) So this issue is/was very minor. It is nice to have people to help out though, I do really appreciate it! I will keep messing with this and future phones, it is fun to do, and with the community help, I am sure there will always be a fix! Or a new phone!
Hello everyone!
I made a stupid mistake of uninstalling my GO Keyboard app before disabling the input method. So I install the Google Keyboard app. But when I get to the point where I need to change the input method to Google Keyboard, the phone hard reboots, saying XPERIA then the boot animation. I tried everything but no luck.
Any help appreciated,

Yup, fully. I looked for an app like com.android.input to clear cache for, but I didn't find anything.
Typed from the terrible stock keyboard which changes to Chinese every few mins.

Lol XD, what kind of ROM do you run? Stock or CM based?
Stock D: My phone was £110 so I don't want any risks of a brick.
Any help? D:
Well thanks for the 'help' guys Seriously though you post on this forum no one replies for a day or so and then it is moved down to the bottom of the forum. And this reply thing is buggy as hell thanks for wasting my time and if Sony ever finds me, well screw you, you only take the popular. devices and update them, and leave the other devices to rot in bugs. Thank f***ing you, XDA, it took me 25 minutes to re type this because of your terrible website on mobile, and I can't change my profile picture from a terrible minecraft thingy to something proffessional. And before you people jump in and judge me as a 9 year old minecraft player, I am only pissed off.
Don't rage and factory reset.
