I had been having the same problem. Busybox and Titanium Backup Pro asking me to update the binary. SU won't save the "Remember this choice" option until it's updated either - medium annoyance. But thanks for this answer, this shed alot of light on the situation.

[Epic 4G Android Development] delawaresace:
I'm hopeing someone might have a solution to this.

so SU came out with an update. I'm running SyndicateRom Frozen 1.2 and I have no problem updating the new SU binaries, but it won't stick after reboot. Found this quote on androidsu.com:

"The other reason that updating the binary fails is that your ROM Dev did something silly like putting the su binary in /sbin. I have not found a reason why this would be done, but I’ve seen it many times. The problem with putting su in /sbin is that even though you may be able to modify it at runtime, the changes will not stick over a reboot. This is because /sbin is part of boot.img, which gets unpacked and loaded at boot. The other problem with having the su binary there is that it’s almost always the first entry in the PATH. If you’re unfamiliar with the PATH, it’s a list of places that the system will look for a program, once it finds one it stops looking. Superuser will not try to update su if it’s found to be in /sbin because the change will not persist."

Bolding mine. So, besides updating everytime after i reboot, what can i do?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ArchangelRenzoku:
Wait til 1.3, they're testing it now and will have this issue resolved.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Grommish:
Talk to your kernel dev. Its a kernel issue. 1.2 came kernel-less. If you are using Genocide, Roddderick already posted that he is rolling out an update soon with the new su binary and a few other things.
[Epic 4G Android Development] delawaresace:
I am using Genocide. thanks for the info. i'll keep an eye out for the update. if i went back to using Twilight, would it have the same problem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] lardo5150:
I posted this on the genocide thread, but rodderick stated it sounded like a ROM issue, not a kernel issue.

On the lock screen, my clock, when it is 1 through 9, there is a black box on the left, almost looks like a place holder for the next digit. When the time is 10, 11, and 12, that black box is gone.

Has anyone experienced this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] figgarro:
I have the same issue. Tried awhile back to get it fixed but have had no luck.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
I wouldn't know if I did, because on my setup, the background is black...

What rom and lock screen are you using? (I'm assuming SRF, most likely 1.2, since you're posting in this thread, but people surprise me sometimes, lol)
[Epic 4G Android Development] lardo5150:
Is this a known thing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Two confirmed reports so far ;)

It appears that three out of the six lock screens available in SRF 1.2 allow your chosen background to show through, but the stock background is dark/black in the clock locations for all three - maybe a black background will temporarily patch the problem for now?

The image for a blank slot probably just needs to be replaced with a completely transparent image of the exact same size...
[Epic 4G Android Development] lardo5150:
Here is a screenshot.

Any advice on how to get rid of this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] The Root:
Flash honeycomb fusion explosion. :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Grommish:
Not sure. I dont know how he handled the su binary there. Ive seen it in sbin and xbin depending on the kernel
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Okay, now I see it on my own phone... Never noticed before because I haven't used the stock Epic lock screen since other options became available. It only affects that one lock screen, the others show a zero.

It might require an XML edit to use zero instead, or it could be a simple graphic edit... But I would suggest just switching to a different lock screen :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] lardo5150:
I actually need to use this one :(

My company forces a lock on my phone because of ActiveSync. I have a lock screen widget setup for my music. That Epic lock is very fast to get me to my PIN screen, so I would like to keep it.

Going to look into it more tomorow night, so if anyone has anything to add, please feel free.

Having a difficult time saving a new contact.

From my text message, I do the following:

Menu -> Add to Contacts -> Select [NAME]

And the error pops up:

Edit Contacts
Unable to edit SNS contacts on phone

When I hit the back button, it returns to the message - as if it saved my contact... but when I restart the phone, it somehow... is no longer saved.

Anyone experience this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Yup, I've seen the same thing. If it's a contact with a link to something like Facebook or Twitter, that's usually the case. I don't link contacts from Facebook, so I've only seen it through twitter contacts. I'm not sure of the best way around it yet either, but I believe that's the problem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] caileb:
You are correct, I sync my contacts with google & facebook :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Google is fine, in fact I leave that as my default so I don't lose any contacts when I wipe and flash or switch handsets
[Epic 4G Android Development] caileb:
Except... I like to use both Google & Facebook to sync my phone numbers :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] ArchangelRenzoku:
Your problem is that you can only sync numbers *from* facebook *to* your phone, not the other way around which is probably why you're getting that error.

You'll either have to sync them to google or directly to your phone, but you can't sync SNS contacts back to their respective services, only from them.
[Epic 4G Android Development] caileb:
How do I go about doing that?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ArchangelRenzoku:
Create a new contact, and when you go to save it the phone will ask you where you want to save it to. Click either *google or *phone.

EDIT: Or, while you're creating the contact, in the upper left-hand corner, it will tell you where it is about to be automatically saved to. What does yours say? Mine says Google in blue letters.
[Epic 4G Android Development] caileb:
I'm trying to grab the number off my text - and save it from my messaging inbox. Is there no way of doing that?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ArchangelRenzoku:
If you're using an un-themed rom or the stock setup, here's how:

While looking at the message thread, in the upper left-hand corner will be a box, with a "bust" picture of an unnamed man, next to the number you are texting to and from.

Tap the box and if the number is not already saved in your contacts (AS the number), it will ask if you want to save it to contacts.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jake0125:
Try and tap the picture next to the # when viewing the text message. It should ask if you want to save to contacts.
[Epic 4G Android Development] caileb:
I tried that. Now it says 'Contact Saved' but ... when I go back into Messaging or Contacts, that person doesn't have the number saved. And in Messaging, it is still showing up as the number; not name.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ArchangelRenzoku:
Sometimes google doesn't sync the contact right away so you might need to manually do it if you want it to save immediately. Just to accounts &sync> select your google acct > uncheck contacts and recheck it then it will sync.
[Epic 4G Android Development] The Root:
Or launch g+
[Epic 4G Android Development] caileb:
Ok, now after I click on the bust and click <SAVE> ...

It brings up the "Edit contacts" screen, and under the name - still gives the error:

Unable to edit SNS contacts on phone

??
[Epic 4G Android Development] lcovel:
,,,clutching my epic4g,,,curled up in the fetal position in a corner of my bedroom. Repeating over and over,,,,,,SRF v1.3,,,SRF v1.3,,,SRF v1.3,,,,,OH THE AGONY!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] caileb:
Those did not work. Still giving the error :-/
[Epic 4G Android Development] jockovonred:
you may have a contact within google which is also showing facebook data (and vice versa). these are called joined contacts. the phone number for the contact may be listed via facebook and email (including phone or other data) via google, though the contact only shows once in your contact list.

when editing a contact which exist in both google and facebook, the message 'Unable to edit SNS contacts on phone' will always persist (for reasons mentioned earlier).

if you want to save the phone number, right down the phone number or memorize it briefly (i have found no good way to copy paste the number).

edit the contact and create a new number, then save.

when complete, the contact will show the google number (just entered) as well as a duplicate number (the facebook one). typically facebook numbers will show as +1-555-555-1212 or 1-555-555-1212, whereas google saved numbers show as 555-555-1212.

hope it helps :)

note: the 'Unable to edit SNS contacts on phone' message will always exist when editing joined contacts. it won't go away and isn't an error or problem. it's informative only.
[Epic 4G Android Development] caileb:
The user does not have their phone number on Facebook, so once I received the text - I wanted to save as the existing contact sync'ed from Facebook.

This seems like a lot of work (writing down the number, re adding it in) on something that should be easy? ie, Save as from a message?

I assumed the sync'ing process copied the numbers over to my phone from Facebook/Google... so I'm not sure why the above issue exists:

-----------

EDIT:

I can't go into the contact and "EDIT" - because that option is not available. I did confirm, it is joined as Facebook only.

I tried going into <Settings> to <Accounts> and re-sync'ing my Facebook & Google contacts...

But I have no option to go in and edit this contact; and manually add in their phone number.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mocsab:
I noticed the same thing and it happens on any ROM I have used - if I sync a contact from GMAIL Contacts or Facebook - I cannot edit the contact and add any information on my phone - but I can add the phone number in my contacts at GMAIL and it syncs with the phone - a bit clunky - not sure why they block the ability to edit a synced contact like that - very strange - and totally unreasonable.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jockovonred:
as stated previously, there is no ability to update facebook contact data. you may create a new contact which is exactly the same name and save it to your google account (which will show up in contacts as joined with the facebook one). edit the google contact with phone and other data that is manually entered (copy/paste if you like or are able). the facebook data isn't copied to the google contact automatically.

in terms of writing down the number/memorizing it...i could find no way to copy a facebook number which was being used to identify MMS/SMS messages.

blame facebook if it's bugging you! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] sephiroth009:
I don't see sfr 1.3 being as beast as everyone thinks it will be. I'm waiting for it since I just want some good new rom to flash but that's it. And rushing them won't get it out any sooner. Id rather it have little to no bugs and released slowly over quickly with tons of bugs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Lo N Slo:
Hey guys, I just flashed this rom for my roommates Epic about 3 days ago. He keeps getting a Force Close issue with a message that says "framework has stopped" or something. Its weird because he was on an older version of an ACS rom that I had flashed for him and that also began to have framework issues. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
He need to be journaled. Search for the JournalOn.zip, flash that, and fix permissons in cwm. Should be good to go.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
A contact synced from either gmail or facebook is not technically stored on the phone at all (the copy in memory is a temporary copy, if you will - the master copy is always stored on the network from which it was synced).

Gmail contacts can be updated from your phone, because they are stored in *your* account. Facebook numbers are stored in the other users' accounts - you can't edit their profiles anymore than they can edit yours.

You have to create a gmail contact for the person, then link it to the facebook contact. When you click the number to store it, don't select the existing facebook contact, create a new one
[Epic 4G Android Development] ArchangelRenzoku:
What he said! Hit it right on the nose! Thank you!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ultro:
I'd like to ask here instead of making another thread. I want to uninstall some of the apps that come w/ this ROM. These include the stock Browser, Music, Samsung Apps, Kies Air, and Email apps. Some of these are system apps, so I was wondering if un-installing some of these will have negative effects on either other apps or the phone overall. Don't even know if this happens on custom ROMs, but I remember being in a stock ROM, removing some apps is not advised. Any help would be appreciated :>
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Of the ones you listed, none raise red flags to me anyway. The only one I question is stock browser, as something may rely on that. However, of the rest, you should be fine.

Typically what I do is take the zip of the ROM, open it up and check is system/app and data/app and take out anything I don't want. Then I have my own mini-custom ROM and just flash that from the get-go. I may add in a few things as well like ringtones into the appropriate folder, and other apps.

As for the stock browser, what you could do is simply freeze that in TB and use your phone normally. If nothing bad happens, then it's probably safe to remove it comletely.

When in doubt, I say freeze app before removal, use your phone for a few days and if it doesn't blow up, safe to remove :D.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jake0125:
Seems like I read that some of the browsers, like Dolphin, "piggie" back on the stock browser. so have to be careful. Might be best to freeze the apps you want removed to be sure they wont affect other apps you want.

Whoops further read hayzoos's reply. yep!
[Epic 4G Android Development] caileb:
ugh the stock Browser is horrid. The colors sometimes get inverted; and it will often close due to memory issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Eins7ein:
I have the stock browser removed on my phone and have had no problems so far. I'm running srf1.2 and use opera if that makes any difference.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
The stock browser is fine to remove. I do.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ultro:

[Epic 4G Android Development] JurKZ:
The only issue I have run into with removing the stock browser is that voice search does not work from the main search button. I had that issue when I was running RandomRom
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
is anyone having a problem with go launcher when using this rom? my icons keep disappearing from the homescreen whenever the phone is rotated, if i touch the homescreen, they show up again, just annoying really, I don't remember this happening with the leaked gingerbread roms so I figured I'd ask here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jockovonred:
it's been happening with go launcher ex and me for a few days now. i'd say it's more a problem from a go dev team update.

do you have any widgets on the same page, like their go weather widget? it seems more pronounced with the lucid pro go weather widget being on the same screen with the icons. if it's moved to a different screen, the icons paint without issue.

it's probably best to report the issue you have to the go dev team as it's highly unlikely to be a rom or kernel issue since it's been working fine for quite some time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
i have no widgets at all. I run honeycomb go theme, but took that off, still same thing, it didn't do this when running hurricane gb rom or urban warfare gb rom, thats why I figured I'd ask here.

[Epic 4G Android Development] LordFuzzy024:
I know a lot of us are complaining but we were promised 1.3 last month. We keep getting hints that it will drop and we keep hearing people say they are testing 1.3 but no one really proves that it even exists. I would help test, setup servers, create download mirrors, anything they need if they would ask for help.

And yes Sprint is bring out LTE on their network but that wont be fully rolled out until late next year. They aren't even dropping their LTE phone till next summer.

Lets all take a deep breath, hold it, and realize SFR 1.2 is still the most stable and fastest ROM out there. Keep up the great work ACS team.:cool::cool:

Apologies. It needs a little tightening under the hood and a good paint job. Obviously, we still want to maintain the fastest, most stable experience.

SFR 1.2 is the most stable rom right now. I have tried many many other roms and was not happy with the FC's and random reboots.

[Epic 4G Android Development] lcovel:
Like most everyone else here, I've tried nearly all the ROMS out there since Ive had my Epic4g. Right now, yes, SRF v1.2 is the best you can get. I dont know how long it took to push 1.2 out, but I think I can wait until 1.3 is perfected. Rather have another perfect ROM than one that FC's or locks up when I need it the most.

ACS, Rock Solid.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
Obviously 1.2 was a big success, which leads me to believe why its taking 1.3 so long to finish. Most of us know how good 1.2 is so improving on it will be difficult, which is why I believe its still being worked on. They wanna release something that "Wow's" us a bit further than 1.2. Releasing a half assed uncompleted 1.3 would surely not impress most of us here, so rest assured, the ACS team will release 1.3 once they feel its ready and/or meets our "strict expectations" :p
