Default Wifi Mode Themes

For those of you upgrading your phones, but hanging on to your beloved Epics for whatever reason, this is for you! It's a minor, but aesthetically pleasing solution! I've added "Custom Wifi Version [For De-comissioned Phones]" options for the three main color themes (Pink coming when I can make it more pink!). These theme variants change a few key things.

The assumption is, that you will be placing your phone into Airplane Mode, or as I've relabeled it, "Wifi Mode." The airplane symbol in the task bar will be replaced with "WiFi." The carrier label will be replaced from "(No Service)" to still state "RandomROM FC09."

The idea is to make your beloved Epic feel like a wifi device rather than a crippled phone.

Default wierdness a gwan here. please help if you can :)

Hello 1st I want to say how happy I am with my epic now with this rom...but of course a few of us has experienced a few annoyances, some can be over looked though...1st I could not flash the BML version at all it would not complete no matter how many times I wiped or odin'd back to stock FC09 and rooted it would just hang on the random rom splash screen, so I had to convert to MTD using that nifty converter zip and my epic booted up on the 1st flash...go figure..?...now on MTD I found that messing with the quick panal for my scrollable status breaks my Flashlight, reboot, and shutdown toggle and then I have to flash 5.1 all over again I tested this 3 times so I don't mess with the quick panals any longer. Also on occassion when I press my dialer icon to call someone it closes to the home screen but after several attempts ( The Annoyance) my dialer doesn't close and I'm able too make my call. I use go launcher for my home replacement but each time I reboot my epic or just turn it on it always ask me to make a home replacement a default one and that's through out my phone I go my texts then press my home button it asks me to make one my default home screen to correct this I deleted twlauncher as well as launcher pro but my question is why should I have to do that when I can just make go launcher my default home launcher...I think that's all of my experiences with this rom ??? If I have any new bugs found or weirdness ill post yet again but if any one could shine some light on these weird scenerios much would be appreciated. Also btw I also have experienced that glitch with the wifi being turned on and the 4g being broken.

I have also found this to be true.

After flashing 5.1 there are 15 toggles in this order: Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, Sound, 4G, Flashlight, Auto Rotation, Data, Auto Sync, Airplane, Brightness, Screen Timeout, Lockscreen, Reboot, Shutdown.

If I go into QuickPanel Settings app and into either Widget Buttons or Widget Button Order there are only 12 widgets shown (flashlight, reboot, and shutdown are missing).

If I make any changes to the displayed buttons or their order then I loose the three missing toggles (flashlight, reboot, and shutdown) and the only way I've found to restore them is reflashing all of 5.1.

Otherwise, great ROM from Random as usual

Try pulling quikpanelsettings.Apk out of The People's ROM 2.21.

I'm trying to put this on my wife's epic and I got a question. How long does the BML to MTD ZIP take to run? It's been rebooting for a while sndbi don't know if it's working or messing up. It keeps showing a script when it boots into recovery and then reboots again

Update - I pulled the battery and tried to go into recovery it starts the boot loop again

Update 2 - I odined back to fc09, rebooted, and and an trying again.

Update 3 - got it up and running, finally. After odining fc09, flashed CWM, flashed the mtd fc09 prerooted rom, then flashed thank 5.1

Go here and download the sleeper rom zip.
use a program called 7zip to open the zip file and goto system/app folder and find browser.apk, extract that file and then copy it to your sd card

use root explorer (available in the play store)
try copying it to the data/app folder on your phone. see if that works for you
if not copy the apk to system/app folder. (you'll need to change the r/w to r/o status, found at the top of the folder list, of the folder in order to copy the apk)

you will need to reboot for the phone to pick it up

So I wanted to stay on BML due to some problems I ran into with my phone after converting to MTD (most likely coincidental, but it still makes me hesitant to convert).

Can I run TH 5.1 in BML, or do I have to convert to MTD? If it does support BML, are both versions part of the same zip? I only saw one download on RK's blog, which I assumed was the MTD version.

If I can't run 5.1 on BML, anyone know the most recent version of TH that does run on 5.1?

Thanks for the help.

Thunderhawk 5 would work; I am looking for that zip. Here, there is a link on his blog under old versions. Though it is painfully slow to download from goo. (it finally downloaded for me after like 10 minutes of waiting, I have that zip and can put it somewhere for you if you really want it)

That being said; MTD should not cause you any issues.
This is what I recommend.

backup any phone contacts (not google contacts those will sync for you), sms/mms and call log that you want to keep using MyBackup root (free on the market).

you can backup your apps and their data as well.

Put TH 5.1 on your sd card. download and put CM9 on your sd card.
Boot to recovery.

make a nandroid backup of your phone.

flash cm9 (it will convert the file system to MTD; their process seems to work better, the phone will reboot during the process of converting to MTD leave it be)

don't reboot to system when the complete CM9 flash is done
now flash TH 5.1
when that is done; reboot

let the phone start up; it will take a min or two. Login to google and let it sync.
using MyBackup root; restore your phone contacts, sms/mms and call logs you may have backed up before - no apps at this time.

Now use rom manager to make a backup called; clean thunderhawk51. This will give you a good starting point to get back to if a restore goes bad.

It is a pain but its highly recommended that you not restore data to ensure nothing can fubar the phone during a restore process.

But if you want; try to restore your apps and their data. If the phone goes off the deep end you can get back to a good place by restoring the clean backup you made prior to restoring apps and data.

If there is an issue above then just restore the apps and not their data and you can then set them up from there.

Hope this helps
