[ROM] TrulyEpic Rebirth v1.5 AC - no planned EB13 update :'(

[Paul627g]

No battery issues here... Running it for well over 12 hours now.

Anybody else having battery issues? Mine heated up to scorching level, even hot enough that phone shut down. I wasn't on it any more than usual. I swapped back out to Bonzai and haven't had the problem again.

Was there anything in particular you were doing/apps you were running when this happened?

 

[yoda288]

It was plugged in, had been running programs off an on, nothing consistent. Was mostly getting things re-established. Might have been playing some angry birds on occasion. But, like I said, it was NOT persistent, continuous use.

 

[ragnarokx]

When I'm setting up my phone after a ROM flash it always gets pretty warm, regardless of the ROM. This has never happened to you before?

 

[yoda288]

I've had it get a bit warm, but this actually shut down the phone. A heat warning popped up, phone shut down. Had to let it sit for a bit before I could even get it back on.

 

[ragnarokx]

Very strange. It could have been a bad flash - I'll monitor my battery temp and see if I can recreate your problem.

 

[yoda288]

Even if it doesn't get resolved--just wanted to extend my thanks. I have definitely benefited from all the stuff you have posted--don't change phones without warning us first, ok. -thanks

 

[ragnarokx]

Thank you, I appreciate that. The earliest I'll change phones is August 31st, so I've got plenty of time left with the Epic community

 

[yoda288]

I hate to admit it, but I dont think I was using the most current version of clockwork (was still green--no orange). Could that have caused the problem? I'm starting from scratch again, getting the right clockwork, we'll see what happens.

 

[ragnarokx]

I'm surprised you were able to flash it with CWM2 - that very well could have been your problem. Let me know if using CWM3 resolves it.

Update: v1.1

 

[Paul627g]

I think everyone who was a fan of TrulyEpic will be very happy... The latest version v1.1 is running pretty smooth. I think a round of applause is in order for Ragnarokx and the work he's done bringing this ROM back in EXT4/Edify Script/CWM3.0.0.5 form.

2 questions (sorry, still a noob when it comes to this kind of thing)
-Do I need to wipe before installing 1.1 (I always have when switching ROMS, wasn't sure if I had to, since its an update
-What are people using to restore apps?
Thanks

 

[techiechick]

Ok.. I'm ready to give it a try!
I'm running TrulyEpic and my Clockwork is green...

How should I proceed?

You should either Odin back to stock Eclair or stock Froyo.

Then follow the steps here and download OneClickRootCWM3.zip and this will root/install CWM3.0.0.5/EXT4 Filesystem w/Edify Script all in one package. Then you can download/flash the ROM and enjoy!

Yes you should always wipe when flashing new ROMs. Some people say in an update situation its alright to simply flash over but then some have reported issues in the past. I just usually go with a wipe to make sure things are cleaned out and in order.

Apps will automatically restore if your already on Froyo and opted to allow Google to backup your apps/setting when you setup your account on first boot. (Android Setup Wizard)

Also you can download MyBackUp or similar app and that will save and restore your apps/data/settings.

Cool! How do I do that??

 

[ragnarokx]

Follow this thread to get Froyo (New: Restore to Froyo DK28).

Once you're on Froyo, follow this procedure to get rooted, Clockwork v3.0.0.5, and an EXT4 filesystem.

Now you can flash any of the new ROMs you like, including this one.

Looks awesome!

This is probably exactly what I need, as soon as its finished d/ling I will install/ I just had a question about the stock apps (samsung apps/widgets, sprint apps, etc), How do I install them? Thanks from the new guy on the forums.

"No bubble MMS".... Is this the regular/default messaging app, but without the yellow and blue bubbles?? If so I think I will extract that
