I've been running this Kernal since yesterday. I just flashed it over without wiping. Very fast and responsive. Last night (about 6 hours using the kernal at 1.45Ghz running SyndicateROM Frozen 1.1.0) it wouldnt wake up.

Tried holding the power to see if it was off...

It was locked.

I had to do a battery pull.

Well I was charging it just now and it locked up again. I know what you're thinking, I'm an unlucky guy who has an epic that can't handle 1.45ghz. But I have it so SETCPU underclocks to 800Mhz when plugged in.

If it does it again i'll try another OCing app. Just wanted to put that out there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
Well **** we care...but hey everyone has there personally preference in style......but as far as support we f ing care .........if it wasnt the case i wouldnt be up till 3am after dealing with three kids and taking care of hubby, trying to help some noobs get there phones together...just saying;).....And the same goes for rodd and tp.....again...just sayin.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
I understand what you mean but your not a dev though, if im not mistaking lol i never seen you on this forum intill about like a 3-4 weeks ago

But still many of my friends who have the viperrom and heard from others they didn't like how their ?'s were never answered and were ignored but still.
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
Dude...layoff vocal, she works hard and you don't need to develop anything to offer support, and layoff the immaturity. Youve been littering the forums with it lately and frankly I'm sick of it.

There was no need to offer such an opinion when you could have said "I'm on srf" and ended it there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
Completely off-topic and irrelevant. Viper does great work, and vocal knows her fair share about development so I wouldn't question her judgement when I comes to troubleshooting. Let's stick to the task at hand, if you want to talk about VIPERrom go do it in that thread.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
Thanks thomas
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Ditto SRF. Stop spamming Tom's thread!

I'm a hypocrite by responding in this thread after saying the above, but oh well, sue me. I agree with Vocal! Rodderik and TPhillips even hang out in our IRC channel, and Rodderik in particular gives out a good bit of help there when we aren't around.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
I didn't mean anything bad by that im just saying i can see you do hard work and help but i was just saying though. Things may have changed since then but i just hate it how on other forums i help people a lot and never get a damn thanks or just any respect. Im tired of doing something good and never getting one bit of good gestures back. And sorry vocal if i may have seemed to be rude not trying and definitely dont mean too at all
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
Its all good....ya things have changed since then.....and i get you on the lack of appreciation ...... i try and thank everyone who helps me....(stoopid 5 thank limit) Put i think it is important to at least if anything acknowledge when someone has put in time to help you better your phone and get it working. Apology accepted.

Man do you live in an ice cave or what? My phone consistently runs around 80~95°F off the charger and 90~105°F on the charger while in use. I never really even worry till its around 110°F. Your phones not getting hot, its reaching normal temps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stir fry a lot:
Try ditching SetCPU and use just Voltage Control.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Custodian:
This is crazy how my battery life is triple that of which it was previously! On stock battery @that! I know once this 3500 arrives this week...its going to get ugly! It feels nice having 3 states uv by -200....and the 3 by -100. (Using a modified VC aswell)

Btw, autokiller app off the market is a beast if set right!
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
Friggen AMAZING Bro awesome work

SETCPU SUCKs.... ACS will be replacing that soon enough
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
hahahaha..that made me chuckle "ice cave".....im gonna thank you for making me laugh :p:D
[Epic 4G Android Development] slipmaggot8:
So I was running this kernel on bonsai 4.0 for like two days and as I was playing words with friends at 1.2ghz my phone started rebooting itself and wouldn't stop. Did a battery pull restarted phone and same thing. Then I wiped everything 3x and reflashed bonsai rom. Everything is okay but I lost my internal memory my program reads 0. No room to install anything on my phone. Tried flashing the sfr rom(which I am using now) and I still have no internal memory. In my cwm3 it reads that data maybe rfs...???? Did this kernel somehow switch my data to rfs??? Do I have to odin back to stock ECO5 and start over??? Or what I'm really trying to say is HELP!!! By the way I love ACS's work I follow you on twitter same screen name....oh,yeah I was using voltage control!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic4GEE:
You should restore your nandroid you made just before you flashed this kernel. Sounds like you had corrupt data and flashing a rom over it won't necessarily fix those type of issues. So did you make a backup prior to flashing this kernel?

Glad I could help...lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] slipmaggot8:
Yes I did, and I restored data after I flashed, but it wouldn't work it failed
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic4GEE:
Rut ro shaggy......this will take an expert, an expert I am not. Only thing left to try in my book would be odin.
[Epic 4G Android Development] slipmaggot8:
That's what I figured oh well, sigh, odin it is....thanks for the quick reply will push that thanks button for u
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
I know i had one but i was just saying though.

Plus re-did Benchmark and @1.4Ghz in Quadrant: 2081, in SmartBench 2010: 1563/3402, and in linpack: 19.578

Still its better but you would assume i should've hit higher though
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
Oh believe me I tried ;-) phone locks instantly at 1.5ghz, so I doubt it will ever be stable.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Aw man! Crush our dreams..... :p :D Great kernel by the way ;) :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] djbacon06:
well it appears I am one of the unlucky people who got a phone that doesn't support 1.4 :( Every time I set it to 1.4 it will run for a little bit then lock up. So sad, but I had to try.

I am sure this is amazing for those that have the phone that support it though ;) Good work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
And hey, let's not kid ourselves; 1.3 is pretty awesome too! :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Could've just been your phone though maybe?
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
I doubt it, 1.5ghz would be running at between 1.400v and 1.425v which is way above anything that this phone is designed to handle. Also, the amount of heat that would be generated by 1.5ghz would essentially turn your phone into a toaster lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] djbacon06:
very, very true! but all I can say is thank god for NAND backups :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] rhyme187:
what speeds are recommended for max and min on SETCPU with this kernel? (ACS 1.1.0)
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Lol, yeah I can imagine :p

Yup, true that :D

I have 100-1.4 going ;) :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
For everday use (no overclocking), I will usually set it to 1ghz max 200mhz min. I have had issues with the phone waking up at 100mhz min and so have others, so I rarely set it that low. On the conservative governor, it will generally idle the most at around 400mhz, which is undervolted like the other frequencies for better battery life. If you want insane battery life at the cost of some performance, set it to 600mhz max/200mhz min :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
True True, because iv'e noticed on the Vision Kernel the phone quickly hits up in the 90's Fahrenheit even being on 1.3 or 1.4 within 10 -25 seconds plus i was doing Benchmark so that didnt help. But you never know. Im just curious how that the Shift processor is 800Mhz stock and can hit 2Ghz. It starts to get unstabl around 1.6 but some kernels are stble around that. thats more than a 200% OClock. Where the epic can only get 40% OC'ed. Is it because its newer tech and its a 45nm instead of 65nm processor.

If it would be at 1.400v - 1.425v cant you undervolt to 1.325 or whatever to keep at voltage as if it where on 1.3 or 1.4Ghz
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
So this is pretty much the twilight kernel + voodoo sound and the 1.4ghz step? Great work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yup, pretty much :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
You're all over the place haha, do you know that? It's good to have you on the board :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Lol, yeah :D Thank man :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] justinglock40:
Will the Vision Kernel eventually support the 72FPS like Twilight says??
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
Undervolting for overclocking doesn't work lol, it won't have enough juice to even boot with a voltage too low. Keep in mind that the Shift is made by a different company, containing a completely different processor, with totally different hardware, and not to mention made after the Epic. It's comparing apples to oranges when it comes to overclock capability.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
Hopefully, an interesting thing happened while I was developing this kernel. The framerate cap was raised to 78fps, but as soon as I applied the voodoo color mod this was reverted back to 56fps for some reason. So I played with it a little and managed to get it back up a bit but only to 65fps. Not sure what is causing this, I'll have to look into it more and figure out what is counteracting the fps limit code. But trust me, I love me some FPS hehe
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Kind of figured that but this is apples to apples the T-Mobile G2 & the Shift 4G is actually similar processors and the G2 cant OClock like the Shift. But probably because of the difference in newer tech.
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic4GEE:
You may want to wait and see if a more intelligent individual has anything to suggest before odin.
[Epic 4G Android Development] slipmaggot8:
i will wait until tommorrow
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic4GEE:
My one concern is, if you burned up the internal chip, odin may fail and you'll be stuck with a brick. Does your phone still work, just with no internal memory?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
All hope is not lost,same thing happened to me using this kernel,but this was at the exact same time I lost root when using "pimp my cpu". Other things might work,but this is what I did; Just format data/system,clear caches and restart from the ground up,since I'm still working on a ROM I flash about once a day,sometimes 5-10 times when I really start testing things.
[Epic 4G Android Development] slipmaggot8:
So i couldnt wait, odined back and now im oneclick rooting with CWM3 gonna flash SF Rom and wait to flash this kernel tommorrow good night fellow Epicureans...lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
Ya I don't know what would cause that but in my next release I'll be including a superuser failsafe to ensure that root isn't lost, courtesy of DRockstar!
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic4GEE:
Sounds like you've got yourself a healthy epic once again...cool!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
Good man I'm glad you got it working for you.

[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Get this i live in Texas lol, my phone just normally runs around 77-84*F when in use but when i play games it will hit around 86-96.8*F and the problem is its not normal for my phone to be hot where the back of my phone is extremely hot. its not like its warm its like one of those" damn thats hot" i have to hold my phone by the sides because after a while the heat from the back just hurts.

I reflashed Vision Kernel 1.2 im going to give it a try im only using VC: 100,2,4,6,8,1000 & UVing it by 50 for all frequencies. I only use SetCpu for the actual frequencies which are 100/1000 on conservative.
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic4GEE:
^^ your temps seem just fine, its the burning hand part that sounds odd. My phone gets warm, but never burning hot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
i went back to my old kernal as my battery life as 20% worse with this one. So I can say for sure, the kernal has nothing to do with it as my old kernal is just as bad now.

that might be a consequence of being derooted 3 times, not sure. I'm gonna fully wipe and then try this kernal again as i would really like the screen undervolt.
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
Could also be an app not letting your Phone sleep properly

[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
yea, i'd guess that too, but it was working fine for the past two weeks and nothing has changed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Custodian:
Download and Install Autokiller and Autorun Manager from the market.

Open Autokiller.

Go to the tab Memory limits.

Now put these configuration into the 3 boxes.

Hidden app: 150

Content provider: 160

Empty app: 170

Now press on Apply.

Now press on the Menu button on your Device and tap on Settings. Now make sure Apply settings on boot is turned on! After turning it on, press on Advanced system tweaks. Now make sure that Battery and Memory management are turned on!

Exit Auto Killer by pressing the menu button and reboot your device.

Now open Autorun Manager.

Now make sure every service that is listed in the tab Basic you don't need is turned off! Make sure you only turn off things in the tab Basic! After doing that, exit Autorun Manager with the Menu button and reboot your device.

Enjoy!
[Epic 4G Android Development] itisagoodname:
I found this to be true as well. Checking CPU spy helped, i could tell when the phone was stuck at 100mhz and never going into deep sleep. I reinstalled auto memory manager set to aggressive and that definitely seemed to help as well.

Was playing Pandora earlier and out of nowhere everything started to force close... This was on a restored nandroid backup. Upon restart the phone memory read 0.0 again.

Restored my nandroid and it couldnt load /data

Reflashed the rom

Booted fine

Restoring nandroid works after reflashing the rom. This is the 2nd time i've had to do this. Running 1ghz no undervolt. Though i did try to undervolt earlier today and it froze up even with -25mV.

SO just a heads up, make sure you nandroid. Then install the rom again (2x?), THEN restore your nandroid if you have issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
i think my phone is hard bricked after using this for almost a whole day.. i used pimp my cpu.. got unrooted, i decided to odin prerooted ext 4 deodexed ec05 and then flash my rom. then flashed this again and used voltage control. no undervolting just 1450, 1200, 1000, 800, 400, 200, 100. BFQ. after about 8 hours, it started to run slowly, but the temperature, according to battery monitor widget was fine (96F) so i long pressed the power button and hit reboot, and it turned off and wont come back on. nothing at all. no response from power, no DL mode, no CWM, nothing. tried DL mode w/o the battery, trying leaving it on the charger for a while now...

ROM is ACS 1.1.0 incase you are wondering
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
1.45 may have killed you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
what do you mean? 1450? it ran fine, no overheating.. no FCs.. just near the end it started to act like low memory, so i just rebooted
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
It doesn't mater, running it at 1.45 may have killed the phone for you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
that doesnt sound very promising if it can kill the phone w/o warning or overheating, or any signs of cpu stress..
[Epic 4G Android Development] Custodian:
Wish I had a valid reason to want my phone to run that fast. Lol...gaming on it all day..I do that @1k and its still snappy with no lag..
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
..ok....dont ask me why the hell this works sometimes but it does for some.......Pull batt out and press the power button 2 times, put batt back in and try to go to dl mode........Hell what do you have to loose?
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
It may be not possible but try to hardware reset the phone if you know how to, iv'e done that to some phones and solved it to power back on.

I dont know how to do it on this phone and its been awhile lol i saw a few people that had done it to semi-bricked devices before
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Just because your phone can't handle it doesn't mean others can't :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
i have no clue why or how the hell that worked.. but it did...
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
No, there is no hardware reset on a brick.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Lol, wow, nice find!
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
like i said, its been on 1400 since 1.1 came out, and 1450 for 8 hours, no overheating or FCs ever.. it doesnt seem like an OC issue, not had any problems and i stress test it using smartbench, and previously using setcpu... the phone can handle OC np
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Gotcha may had been something similar because all i pretty much remembered was that it turned back on and it had problems with the phone before
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
haha saaaaaweett.....ya a guy came in for help and well he found that and tried it and it worked......so ya i wrote it in my notebook...new it would come in handy :D

maybe that is a form of hard reset? HAHA
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
its still not completely working right, i have to do that every time i turn it off.. and only after leaving it alone and on the charger for about 2 mins... and its pretty warm after being on the charger..
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Flash the twilight kernel and see if the same thing happens.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
so your saying when you turn your phone off...you have to do that to turn it back on to dl mode......ok the last guy had to odin to stock and reroot....he had the same problem....your describing and it worked
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
i odined back to prerooted stock, but everytime i reboot it stays off and i have to do that to get it to come back on in dl mode or regularly..

no matter the kernel.. just leave it on the charger about 1-2 mins... then pull it off, take the battery out hit power 2x, stick the battery in and turn it on, normally or in dl mode..
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
Haha that's an old electronics trick (says the young guy). Pressing the power button completes a circuit (like when your phone is off and your turning it on), so when the batteries are out, it basically "flushes" whatever power is within the phones circuitry.

Why does it work? I don't know. I suspect it has something to do with there being a certain"charge" (I really don't know what to call it) of electricity present in your phone as a result of some abnormal stimuli (like a nonstandard processor speed, for instance) that can't be cleared by normal phone operation (like pressing power with battery in) and is probably causing everything else to be out of whack. Hence the brickage.

That is, of course, an explanation entirely based on my intuition and I may be completely wrong.
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
Wait, vocal, are you a sprint tech?
[Epic 4G Android Development] kbnguy:
ThX for the suggestion. Mine was bricked this morning after I rebooted it. I've tried everything but no use...

I tried 1400 but it was warm even tho there's no lock-up so I backed down at 1300 no UV. States set as in VC: 200, 400, 600,800,1000,1200,1300. Scheduler: BFQ.

Oh well, I knew there were risks so no one to blame.

@Thomas

Not your fault. May be something I did or somethings not supposed to go together... I still appreciate you contributions to this community and thx again
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
Just want to put this out there, I think UVing the RAM is causing corruption,this is the 4th time,I have had journaling enabled each time,and had it set 200-1000mhz... This time after a lot of FC's I just tried installing MyROM (SFR 1.1,Vision 1.2) ,cleared all cache,factory wipe,install ROM,and it gets stuck at blitzing data,never had this issue until this kernel...
[Epic 4G Android Development] thedevilslettucemd:
Yep, my phone is now corrupt as well after installing Vision 1.2. It takes me up to 40 minutes to get the phone working again. The worst part is my screen is cracked so I can't get Sprint to replace the phone (being that they changed the policy about cracked screens back to NO coverage). Has anyone found a way to come back from this corruption? I would strongly suggest ANYONE using this kernel to stop using it immediately.
[Epic 4G Android Development] itisagoodname:
What's the phone doing? Define corrupt.

I've had several "events" most with applications that take a lot of memory. Pandora, x-plane, video editor.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Not the kernels fault. This is your fault, or at the very least your phone acting up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
yea, mine seems to freeze if i use voltage control or set cpu. and the scaling only goes to 1200 and then jumps to 1450 which locks my phone up =[
[Epic 4G Android Development] itisagoodname:
Use both, Set CPU to enable 100mhz and then only check states that you use in VC (with the max being 1400). Hit apply for now, then go back to set CPU, set to performance, then step up through the states using the slider. You should now be able to scale 1200, 1300, and 1400.

DONT use pimp my cpu with voltage control, bad, evil things happen.

Download CPU spy and run each state for a couple minutes and verify that the correct scaling is being used.

This is the only way it works for me. V1.0 of the kernal worked just fine with set cpu only. Who knows why this changed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
keep it on the charger for a while.. not just 2 min......let it sit
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
thanks! and idk what happened but everything was being laggy today. i thought it was the data being corrupt so i reflashed the rom. then the kernel. then went back to 1.1 and i couldnt figure out why everything was being so laggy. but then i pulled out the sd card and viola! idk how but something corrupted the data on my sd card so i formatted it and put the stuff back on it and now it seems fine. weird tho right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
ya i asked and <@DRockstar> in some computers, pushing the power button clears capacitors charge.....that what was told to me...thanks drockstar and you too squshy
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
hhahaha...noooooooooooooooo....he came into viperchat
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Just a Benchmark score: Quadrant:When UV'ed it hits 1483 on mine in SetCPU its 100-1.45 on performance and in VC i only UV'ed 100-1000
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
nope not weird....its happened a few times that ive seen..with different roms
[Epic 4G Android Development] thedevilslettucemd:
I take responsibility for running the kernel on my phone, but the fact that multiple people are experiencing the same non-boot issue with your new kernel (version 1.2) is not mere coincedence. My phone was perfectly fine until I installed v1.2. Now the phone refuses to boot no matter how many times i pull the battery, hit the power button, plug the charger in, etc. Every once in a while I get lucky and it starts up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Can you run the twilight kernel no problem?
