Don't be intimidated by the install process. It does seem overwhelming but its not hard. Get "Script Manager" from the Market, download the 2 scripts, select each one in Script Manager, select "Run in Root" then "Run." The V6 script will give you a menu, select browser speed (choose 1 or2) then select option 9 and enter. You can follow that with option 11 and enter. The KickAss script same but when you click "Run" you may see that a backup folder wasn't made. Just check in etc/init.d folder with Root Explorer to confirm its there. Then reboot phone.

Hey, I need help. I cannot figure out this new method of rooting and install custom roms at all. I odined EC05, then I did the 3.1.0.1 one-click root, and then I flashed sfr1.2.zip just like the instructions said, but it is stuck on the Samsung bootscreen.

Please help...

Flash kernel after rom, before booting :)

Posted by Mr. Z's Epic 4G.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
What! When did ROMs stop including kernels??? And why is this not outlined in the instructions
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
1, just this one instance.

2, it is in the first post of the OP.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
"If you coming from the EC05 OTA (stock): Download the ROM and copy it to your SD card first, then use the CWM3.1.0.1 one-click, wipe data, and flash the ROM."

That came straight from the first post, but I don't care. What is the best kernel to use with this ROM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
Ah yes it isn't in the instructions, definitely should be I agree to that. It does say at the top "Version 1.2 - without kernel" which implies you need to flash one, but DEFINITELY not everyone knows this. I would recommend Twilight Zone or Genocide. Those are really your only choices ATM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Okay thank you Thomas, I wish my kernel guys (Devin, Genius, and Nullghost) would come back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
WDM, are you messing around? Lol. You know what's up with all of this...
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
That's what I was thinking lol. Maybe its a test.

Posted by Mr. Z's Epic 4G.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
What do you mean? I know why they don't have a kernel built in? Or what? I'm kinda lost...
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
No, I just meant you know the process in flashing ROMs and kernels and such. I didn't realize you just missed the part about the kernel not being included. It is my understanding that 1.2 was released to "appease the masses" and that a new kernel wasn't ready yet so the team decided to release it without one and left the kernel choice up to the user.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Nah, I haven't paid attention lately to SFR. I've been running stock for the past month testing things myself, I am just now starting to flash custom ROMs again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Well its good to have you back on the Dark Side!!!

4 soft keys on main screen kinda have a lag.

Not sure if there is a fix or if anyone had asked about the soft keys on the bottom of the screen having a little bit of lag. I had thought it was the phone its self but got it replaced due to other problems. (not due to rom or software problems). But even with this day old epic, its like something will cause the buttons to kinda lag and the worst is the return/back button. It did it on an older srf rom too. All the stuff had been updated, rom and all and it still did it on the other epic and on this one too. Other than that issue now that I download the srf1.2 hotspot hack. This phone is the ****. Best rom all around and with the hotspot on it no reboots or fc's you cant ask for better.

By the way I do not seem to get keyboard lag. It might skip a key one time out of a few hundred words if I had to give it a number.

Thanks for the tips...i got the v6 8? Script going. Havent tried the kickass yet. I did confirm its in the etc/initd folder along with some other stuff Im guessing came as part of the srf rom. Will the kickass script help with this rom/phone and what does it do?

Thanks...(i pop out to browser to give thanks but wish it could be done in xda app)
[Epic 4G Android Development] andsamp:
Tried the kickass and it gave me a bootloop.

3g turbo didnt work for me either(i have low signal at my house)(hard to connect to data network).

Reflashed srf 1.2 with ef02 and genocide 1.1final with v6 script.
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrankyFiggz27:
do NOT try the kickass kernel tweak. +1 for bootloop running srf w/ tz kernel and eg22 modem.

3g supercharger script DID work for me, noticably. ran speedtest 4 times before and averaged about 275-300 dl, 500 ul, 140 ping. Ran it AFTER running the script (w/ no reboot) w/ my phone in the same exact spot 4 times and averaged about 630 dl, 620 ul, 150 ping. NOTICEABLE to say the very least.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Yup, I didn't get bootloop but I got decreased performance running KickAss. Dropped an average of 80 points on CPU benchmarks. Don't know about the 3G script but the V6 seem pretty good but time will tell

Hello all. This is the first Rom I've ever flashed and loving it so far. One question though. How do I change my email sync interval schedule? I know it used to be in the "accounts and sync" under settings but the SNS settings option is no longer there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
Email or Gmail?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jrhutchss:
Gmail
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Gmail doesn't sync, it's pushed from Gmail itself. No need for interval checking as it will come to your phone right when it hits the server. booyah.

cool.... not gonna overclock... i've never found myself needing more speed. all about the battery life!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Donut42:
I'll try that out. Thanks. I'm now getting force reboots with this rom when I try to install any app. Gonna Odin this beast and start from scratch.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Likewise. Depending on my usage, I can get 2-3 days of battery life on the stock battery. It's damn fast enough, I never find myself wishing it were faster!

I've wiped, reflashed and tried fixing permissions, but I keep getting reboots anytime I try to install any apps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Just a suggestion, if a clean install is acting up, it might be worth a shot re-downloading the rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] worldwidepmp:
Looks to be my next option.
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
can someone tell me if this rom has this built in?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=996631
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
This isn't for roms, it's for kernels. So the kernel you run will have it baked in.
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
Thanks, so a better question would be.. is the kernel that is baked into this rom (Twilight) have this mod baked in? It does wonders for the battery!
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
I see you didn't read the op. There is no kernel baked in at the moment. This rom uses w/e kernel you previously where using if you didn't flash another kernel your self while flashing the rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
Vc is better and that's why I included it in the rom

What BusyBox version are you running? Mine is updated to version 1.18.4 and that's what's been keeping me from trying out the ram script, since the dev recommends version 1.18.2 or lower and I have no idea how to downgrade or what the risk involved (in either running it anyway or downgrading) are.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Akmorgan:
I've been using SyndicateFrozen Rom 1.1.1 for a few months now and just recently saw that this version was available. I'm having MAJOR force close issues,and at the moment can not do anything with my phone. I just tried re-flashing 1.1.1 and it made things worse, launcher pro continually force closes and I cant perform any functions on the phone. I cant even mount the SD card to put 1.2 on at this point. Hopefully I can do that from CWM?

EDIT - I wiped data/Cache 3 times and re-flashed 1.1.1 no problem, but as soon as I restore my data I get the FC errors all over again. Any ideas?

just get the busybox installer from the market. I'd recommend against the kick ass script it gave me a boot loop.

nandroid backups help a lot when doing major modifications to your phone. If all else fails, restore and try again and make sure that you didn't do anything improperly.

The only thing I could do to get my phone working again was to wipe and flash 1.1.1 fresh. I tried restoring my data to no avail. Is there any way to extract JUST my sms messages from a CWM backup? That would be all I really need to get back
[Epic 4G Android Development] Grommish:
Have you tried restoring your backup and immediately wiping cache/dalvik? Possibly something there is causing the fc issues..
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trickee360:
You can restore that backup and use an app like SMS Backup & Restore to backup the messages there and (wait for it) restore them in a fresh install. I have mine set to backup all messages once a day in case I have to wipe and start over with little/no notice. Hope this helps.

Also, I'm experiencing something wierd in my install: whenever I try to download pics (and the same thing happened with a ringtone yesterday) in the browser, the browser f/c's. No idea why. I don't know how to get into download crutch's settings to see if there's a probloem there. Any ideas?

EDIT: Whoops. Meant to quote Akmorgan's most recent post. Sorry.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
For some reason thats always happened on SRF ROM's. Some of the tweaks kinda throw off the browser n its downloads. I believe the only fix is installing a lightly modded browser also by ACS. You might try searching for it, I remember some threads having it up for download. I personally never use the stock browser. I've always used Dolphin browser n its never crashed on me

So I been having a problem trying to get this rom to run on my phone right. Everytime I have installed it even with a fresh install such as returning to stock ec05 and redownloading the rom. Here's the problem, I install rom, install all my apps & that's about it, i leave my phone alone for like 10 mins and its shut off and won't turn on, I have to do a battery pull. I have no idea what's going on and no I am not overclocking or messing with any of that. When the rom was first released I never had these problems but once I switch and try to come back it happens... any help would be appreciated!
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
What kernel are you using? What are your overclock/undervolt settings and what governor are you using? Sorry to answer a question with 3 questions but maybe we can help narrow down the problem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I must say, I am currently running this ROM with Honeycomb Fusion theme, alternating between Genocide 2.0 w/ Voodoo 10 and Vision kernels and it is still beasty! Edit...would be playing with Twilight as well but my phone loves 1.4.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sryans2004:
Don't normally flash a kernel, I think I flashed one awhile ago when I was trying it and I haven't messed with any of the overclock/undervolt settings. Flashed twilight kernel about an hour ago, so far so good.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Ok, go into Voltage Control and with the governor on the top right, select Conservative. Try bumping up the minimum voltage to 400 if its not there already. Then hit the menu softkey and select "save as boot." That SHOULD fix you up. If not, try Genocide or Vision kernel. Our phones all like different ROM and kernel configurations.

[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Before wiping your SD card and all that fun stuff...do these happen to be apps you've installed before?

I ask because I've heard about issues when you try installing apps you've previously uninstalled. There are fragments left over and when you go to install it again, it gives you that same error.

You need to use something like Root Explorer or Super Manager to search for those files and delete them. Once you delete them (a reboot probably wouldn't hurt) try installing the apps again and see if it works.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Hayzooos is right. I have found things in system/app, data/app, and data/data folders. I have tried to delete themes apps and couldn't sometimes. I found the data/data folder had files in there as well
