after the 2nd re-installation of the drivers....it's working again in USB debugging mode :confused:

:cool:

:D
[Xperia Arc General] mps83:
It worked at first, when i connected via USB it gave me the option to connect in either MSC or MTP, default is set to MTP i think. Anyway, now when i connect my phone it says in the status bar "Connected via USB in MTP mode" yet my PC won't recognise it at all. I've tried both modes and when i try MSC it says "Please connect phone" even though it already is. It can't be the USB port on the phone because it works fine when i'm charging it. I've also tried the same USB ports on my laptop with various other peripherals and they are fine.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled PC companion but to no avail.

Don't know what to do really, short of taking out the SD card and putting stuff on it manually.

Anyone else experienced this problem?
[Xperia Arc General] doministry:
Well in USB Mass storage mode you have to make SD card connection on the dropdown notification on Arc.

Frankenstein EC05OCE v1 public beta (its been tested,just want more open opinions).

This is Syndicate ROM Frozen 1.1.0 based,much thanks to the entire ACS gang...

I suggest you Odin the DK28 modem once you are up and running the ROM,I am having much better resuslt then the EB13/EC05 modems.I dont have the time to explain everything thats in it,or post pics atm,but they will be coming soon,the theme is being changed still,so that may change.

Install procedure.

If you are on a SF ROM you can install this on top if you like,it will backup and restore,(please some try this way to see if it works 100%) I suggest doing a factory wipe and wipe caches atleast twice; This version has dual FS support,so you can use older CWM's. Now install ROM (3 versions),once this is done and its al booted up,check to see if the kernel was installed (Im adding the kernel update.zip,I recommend flashing this again to make sure); If the kernel was installed correctly you can then Odin the DK28 modem and enjoy...

Features...

No CIQ.

Twilight Zone v1.0.4 (most stable and compatible,Ive tested them all).

Nexus browser,thanks kOnane (proper thanks to everyone soon,promise).

Smallest base ROM out atm.

CApps and NApps,these .zips should be looked at (unzipped,or open archive and remove whats not wanted),

I will be ripping those 2 update.zips apart and making them into several once ROM is released,

CApps = Core Apps.

NApps = NoN Critical Apps.

No2chem files added.

Missing the keyboard patch atm,I think I forgot to add it,I just noticed some skips.

More info coming soon.

[Epic 4G Android Development] inimitableac:
Thanks I missed your rom....
[Epic 4G Android Development] z31k:
I flashed 86mb right over and everything is hitting well... Quick question, Does your MyFrank come with the LP? I was diggin the Honeycomb theme.. Im gonna try and flash that version right over and see whats up... Another question, I was running MyFrank EB13 with the Genocide Kernal... Will this version be more battery friendly? Geno with Myfrank EB13 was kind of a battery drainer.... :(

Sorry for the double post, I just wanted to bring the question to the relevant post... :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
Nope,ADW won all of my test,well it didnt win all,but it had my highest score. If you want I can make an update.zip if needed,its not hard to add to the ROM if you know how to pull it from the EB13 ROM... Ill help,just dont want to clutter the download section when I change the OP (damn I just remebered I forgot to reserve a couple spaces,DOH...)

Ill make a new thread later. I think this has great battery life with Twilight Zone 1.0.4 and DK28 modem combo,but I suggest flashing the kernel again to make sure its installed.

Edit::: I wouldnt flash EB13 over EC05,you will be back on EB13...
[Epic 4G Android Development] z31k:
Got to head to work... I'm gonna get at you about the lp version later... I flashed both basic and nc version.. gonna flash myfrank later and see what it do... thanks for the rom and the help... I'm pm you if I run into any snags.. :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
Thanks for the help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pvtjoker42:
Thanks for this.

Looks like your links duplicated or something cause they don't work. (the ones on SDX work fine though) ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
Thanks,Ill take a look...
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
All links fixed...
[Epic 4G Android Development] slayer450:
Trying to download myfrank and getting unavailable :(

Same with the black.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
I just edited the file names of MyFrankensteinn/BMNC~steinn to remove the extra n,looks like it broke the file or something; Give it an hour and try again,if that dosnt work I will upload again,I have a slow connction and not at the house right now...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
What update is this rom for the Bee rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] inimitableac:
So I just lost root due to flashing this rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] z31k:
Which kernal are you using?

I haven't lost root, I have however lost root when flashing the geno kernal over the FrankEB13.. this is what I did and it came right up..

Restore your nandroid,wipe 3 times full, dalvik and cache, then reflash.. It worked like a charm...
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
What's a "kernal"? ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] z31k:
Damn, The new guy don't know how to spell... LOL ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] bricky23:
Haha :D Kernal = Kernel Hehe Lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
OHH do you mean a "colonel"??

:D
[Epic 4G Android Development] bricky23:
Note to self, update swype library with xda library
[Epic 4G Android Development] inimitableac:
I did have genocide kernel installed that was probably it Thank god for backups
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
V2 coming this weekend, havnt decided if I want to make a new thread or just put the files up on this one, but I'm not going to go in depth on the things added... If someone wants to have their name attached to this ROM and help make an OP for me (I spilled coke on my laptop, 7 keys are history)...

Im getting tired of changing this...
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
New thread ;)

I can help you out. Let me know what you need. PM me and I'll give you my Gtalk
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
Cool man, much appreciated, I can't get another laptop for awhile, I was going to try and do it by phone, but that would be a major PITA, uploading the files can still be done with it though... PM coming.

Im getting tired of changing this...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Djinn23:
Hey. If u need any more help please let me know.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 30bushido1:
Lmao :-) Im definitely sticking with the twilight colonel
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
anyone can give feedback on the dk28 modem with ec05 rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] inimitableac:
FYI. I'm proof flashing this rom over ANY Kernel that isn't ACS or ACS based will cause raise the risk of loss of root
[Epic 4G Android Development] 30bushido1:
After using odineb13 I flashed and got the stock sammy boot ani. With an android logo overlay that would flash. I ran into

This same issue the first time I flashed acsfrozen. Note: I did not odin the dk28 modum before I rooted or flashed so this may have something to do with it. But to fx I just pulled battery booted back into cwm and reflashed w/o wiping
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
The charging icon stays red and makes it seem like there is no battery.

Also, heres a video showing you how to flash the rom if anyone needs it!

[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Does this have the EB13 camera APK? If not... enjoy your broken camcorders, everyone. ;)

Links Broke Again . .

# Anybody Got Mirrors ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] weldsmoke:
links are working for me just did 3 of them in last 30 minutes i have this problem all the time i think its the download site. ok here we go man im not feeling the dk28 modem but im open to anything thank you for making a new rom for the epic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
LoL,thanks man,and the nexus browser is trash on this ROM also,fixing soon...
[Epic 4G Android Development] omniyukai:
I've been running this rom for not quite 24 hours, and HOLY SHAT is the battery lasting longer.... You are either a true genius, or magic, or a magical genius...

Anyways, thanks a ton for this rock solid "beta" release.
[Epic 4G Android Development] notsosmrtgeek:
I tried to change my tone for the notification and i got the 1 vibe followed by the 2 vibes then reboot and my android process kept force closing. I am using bmnc my frank... but other then that nice and smoooooth.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
Same here,are you using DK28 mode,because where I work I used to get 60-75% TWS,now its at 20%-30%,Im sold and always will be on DK28 being a better modem...
[Epic 4G Android Development] 30bushido1:
+1 for the dk28 ...... I'm at 40% after 15+hrs which is awesome for me. Thats with plenty of texting,Xda surfing acouple of twenty min. phone calls here and there gmail updates evry two hours all data on and synced about two solid hours of wifi and Oc'd @1200 well played sir well played.....and not one Fc..

really looking forward to the final of this one
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
Ill be adding stock browser on the final (Nexus version is starting to act up). Ill be tweaking the theme (keeping all notification icons),and Ill be slimming it down even more if you can imagine that. I hope more people get to experience better battery life from this,I think the main key is the modem atm. Final will be out soon,but I need to ask a dev from ACS about the camera fix (Thanks to kOnane for the direction via pm)...
[Epic 4G Android Development] HooliganAMA:
Any way to create a flashable zip to downgrade my Ec05 modem to dk28? I don't have access to a pc to use Odin at the moment.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Krazy_P@:
Frickin sweet. Asap i'm gonna flash this cuz I loved all your prior work and liiks like this the the best of the best, thanx n keep rocking!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] HooliganAMA:
Never mind I went home and flashed it. I'll keep an eye on the battery life, but the gps is already way faster and more accurate.
[Epic 4G Android Development] belovedson:
i am getting crazy bad battery life. Am I the only person having problems with roms. It's frustrating. AHHH
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
There isnt a way to put the DK28 modem in n update.zip,it never wnt OTW...
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
Do you have bad battery life on every ROM including stock?

How does your TWS look? Are you using the DK28 modem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] belovedson:
what does tws mean again. yes i oden dk28 modem. no i had pretty good battery life in epic experience and the older syndicate and the older frankenstein rom in the past i cant recall which modems.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Esteway.619:
Tws means time with out signal if u go into settings about phone and battery use click on cell standby it shows the tws if its at. 50% or higher that's not a good thing
[Epic 4G Android Development] belovedson:
yes i have full cell. its at 9 percent right now and phone idle is 2 percent.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
Then you should be seeing great battery life... When you said you were having problems with ROMs,Im guessing only EC05 ROMs?
[Epic 4G Android Development] belovedson:
does the display at 82 percent have to do with it. I am confused why the bad battery life. i refreshed the battery the multiple ways shown on the forum. Yet I am having crap for battery life
[Epic 4G Android Development] dazednconfused:
I am loving the black menus/No clock version. Amazing job as always. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dakota_96:
Did kernel flash correctly?

How can you tell if the kernel flashed correctly. In the about phone, my kernel is showing as version 2.6.32.9. I flashed the posted twilight kernel at least five time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dazednconfused:
That'ss the right one. I had to go in the Twilight thread and double check, but that is the correct version.
[Epic 4G Android Development] belovedson:
what can i do

to fix the battery problem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
Tanimn didnt make the kernel write the info in the right place,but there is a way to check I just cant remeber...

On the battery issue,you first said you were having issues with ROMs lately,then you said you had good results from past ROMs,so which ROMs are you having problems with,EC05?
[Epic 4G Android Development] belovedson:
ec05 and now dk28
[Epic 4G Android Development] lattiboy:
I would submit using Genocide kernel undervolted. I get EASILY fifteen hours with moderate use off a full charge. I had horrendous life before Genocide.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tbob18:
This rom is great so far!

I am getting very good battery life with the dk28 modem.

My phone has been on for 24 hours with 2.5 hours of screen time have about 30 min of calls and it is has just dropped to 15%.

This is with Skype, three IMAP accounts in K9, Facebook, and IMO.IM running the entire time (mostly on Wi-fi).
[Epic 4G Android Development] 30bushido1:
Im just under 28hrs. And @64% batt. Using the twilight kernel oc'd @1200 no other special settings everything is on and synced. I even have spb shell running in the background as alternate launcher. Dude this reminds me of the days I had my moto razor:-) can't wait for the final

Edit: Also I am using dk28 modem
[Epic 4G Android Development] belovedson:
Bad battery life

Can it be because of the background apps? I use fancywidget, engadget, go voice, calender, craigslist, and other apps
[Epic 4G Android Development] AMPhilbrick:
nice work on MYFRANK i love the nofi bar and the drop down being transparent..
[Epic 4G Android Development] AMPhilbrick:
bro how do you get such good battery mine last for about 5 hours thats it
[Epic 4G Android Development] tbob18:
You may have some widgets or something eating up your battery. I use systempanel with monitoring enabled to make sure no apps/widgets are killing my cpu.

I also use setcpu. 1000/1000 when the screen is on and 200/200 when the screen is off using the ondemand governor.

I find if the cpu is changing frequency all the time the cpu usage goes up dramatically, especially when the screen is off.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
Thanks for the thanks everyone... To those seeing great battery life,50% or more of that savings over other ROMs is from that DK28 modem,I just got my broher to install my ROM and that modem yesterday,he had a full stock battery charged from an external charger ready to go.Thbe phone is still at 34% and he uses his phone as much as me ; He is now amazed at how well it has lasted...

For the people having bad battery life,try reflashing the kernel and modem...

On another note,Im still working hard at getting out the finished version,you may notice many theme inconsistencies as I have,dont worry Im working on that now. Also if you are having camcorder issues,that is also being looked at,I hope to not have to change kernels,maybe there is a work-around...
[Epic 4G Android Development] dazednconfused:
I love this rom, just like all of your other work, but I'm having a problem. My phone just shuts down for no reason and I have to do a battery pull to get it restarted. The only other rom that I have this problem with is ACS. I know this is based off of their rom, and I don't understand why my phone has such a problem with it. Any other rom I use, I don't have this problem. Anybody have any ideas why? I do the exact same things when I install other roms, but don't have the same issue. Awesome work though, but I just can't deal with my phone shutting off like that. Thanks for all of your hard work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tbob18:
A problem I noticed:

I unmounted the SD card and it restarted automatically, then just buzzed every few seconds and never boots, then I have to reflash and restore all my data.

I'm not sure what causes this, but I also had this happen once with Syndicate 1.1.0, I guess the lesson is to not unmount but instead just shut the phone down and remove the SD card.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Djinn23:
I have read the acs frozen thread an may be able to guide you through thiss if you are interested. It depends whatcha mean when you said shutdown . I am familia with a lack of to no responsiveness when waking from sleep and freezes. Regardless.. unless this is journaled, this is bad n.ews and youshoud take a cwr backup and restore it to journal it. This may already be journaled ....dunno. stock frozen is not on their 1.1.0 but is alleged to be on 1.1.1
[Epic 4G Android Development] dazednconfused:
When i say it's shutdown, it's completely shutdown. No power at all. It won't even turn back on until I pull the battery and restart it. It happens several times a day, but only with ACS rom, or a rom based off of it. So if I do a nandroid and restore it, that turns journaling on? I will give this a try and see what happens. . I am definitely interested in any help you can give. I love the Frankenstein Roms and really want to use it. Thanks for the response.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Djinn23:
I read this happening. I just tried to repo and it didn't happen as described. Per chance hav e you tried backing up your sd and givikng it a clean format and trying again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Djinn23:
Sorry I have not read of that. To me a complete shutdown would not require a b attery pull. Is it in your pocket when the issue occurs or do you witness it?

The journaling is how it is on frozen and I assume the same and this also is not journaled. I woujld reccomend the negligable performance loss to anyone trying these roms cause battery pulls on a non journaled file system can leave you reb uildin.g the rom. If you fc after a battery pull it may be related to the dangers of a non journaled filesystem..
[Epic 4G Android Development] Djinn23:
When I try to access the b lack no clock myfrank I get "The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

Anyone else? Also looks like the usual myfrank dl'd bad cause it would not install. Re pullin that one.

Update: re-dl of myfrank worked. Any specific reasoning for the swypelessness?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
Ive seen 2 freezes when the screen was off,cap buttons still light up,just wont come back from sleep,this is a known problem,I cant say if its the kernel,or a missing file,but this is being looked into.

This ROM does not have journaling by default,nand backup,then restore to enable...
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
MegaUploads always sems to bork my uploads from one day to the next,I dont know why,Im looking into multi link,but I find it hard to manage the things I do now. I really dont want to add more mess to my life that is already getting more and more time limited.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Djinn23:
These have been attributed to challenges with some phones coming out of the 100 sleep. Most were able to workaround by using setcpu and stepping the uv to 400.... can you see if it recurs with that setting? Fwiw I installed last night on top of frozen.. no wipes or anything, then. Applied dk28 and backed up and restored.

In reading your historic threads I know you test a lot of stuff. How did you land on dk28. Most are reccomending eb13 or ec05. As they are official builds I thought dk28 would be a step back. If you have a. Means of testing please lmk cause I think the modem may be device specific too.

Nice rom so far....many thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Djinn23:
Any ideas how much traffic a month this generates? I have a webspace I could contribute but it is limited. Don't know if mega counts for you or not. Thanks for the reply.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dazednconfused:
It doesn't seem like a freeze, it seems shut down. Open the keyboard, no lights or anything. Its not just your rom, its any that build off of Syndicate. I'll pull it out of my pocket, or off of the nightstand and its shut off and won't come back on. I did the nandroid last night and restored to enable journaling. It hasn't done it yet today, but I've had it shutdown most of the day because working out of service area. Ill try to read up on it more tonight. Love this rom though. Blacked out menus and sleek and smooth keyboard are beautiful. Thanks for the responses everybody.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Djinn23:
So.... it seems this is never happening when you are using it but only when you are not looking at it and return to it. I think this is being refered to as a "wake lock". . .implying that it is stuck in a sleeping state and is unable to wake up. To me this makes more sense than a shutdown, since you ahve to pull the battery to deal. They have seen this on the ACS frozen thread a lot ant it was attributed to the inability for some phones to deal with teh curret UV settings under the kernel config. The workaround for most has been to bump it up. On the extreme end some have had to move the UV up to 400 (from 100 where it is deamed to be the problem). I would suggest downloading SetCPU (Free on XDA to XDA users) and setting your minumum to 400 then see if the issue reproduces. If it does not you can try tuning it down to 200.

I also want to be clear. . .the journlaing will not fix your issue, but should prevent File system corruption should you have to yank the battery. It is really just a protective measure and not a corrective measure. Let me know. . .

I should also mention that I am pretty NOOBish at android as a whole with the Epic being my first phone. I do support for a living and dont really believe that you have to know what you are talking about to be great at it :>

Let know how you go!!

Thanks for the reply.

[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
Well from my test with the 3 FROYO modems,DK28 gave the absolute best battery life,Im talking 30%,I noticed my TWS go from 60-75%, to about 20 - 30% (latest results),and these numbers are from my phone being used in the same area as when I used to get 60-75% TwS,so that was enough for me; Speeds seemed exactly the same to me,so I never even tested this with the modems,and that number is more up and down depending on area/time of day/ and a number of other variables,so those tests would be harder to come to a real conclusion if the numbers were close.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dazednconfused:
Ok thanks a lot. Ill play around with setcpu a little bit when I get home and see if that helps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
Ill also look into this more,but for now try to use setcpu on conservative and 200mhz minimum (ondemand will still scale to 100mhz even if set to 200mhz min.)...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Djinn23:
No worries. . .hope it helps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dazednconfused:
Wow, somehow it seems that I lost my root. I went to setcpu and it says it detects no root. I still have the superuser icon though. So do I just need to di one click root again when I get home? Sorry for all the questions, just kind of lost right now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Djinn23:
Thanks for the reply. Observational information I dont think will work for me and I was seeking some hard evidence for my phone cause I suspect a modem issue. I flashed dk28 as your rom requested. . .I am going to rock it for a while and see whats up
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
Did you change kernels? Did you try to reflash TZ 1.0.4? If reflashing the kernel dosnt work,OCR should get you root again.

Just wanted to ask,is everyones camcorder not loading up?
