I thought all governors except conservative were "broke"?

[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Very good point. Nandroids should be done without question. Also good to check them to make sure they are sound. I have had a few instances where I tried to restore one and got an MD5 mismatch so it wouldn't work. So, when you have some free time, double check to make sure your nandroid/s are sound
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
I always keep one Nandroid saved that I KNOW is good incase a more recent one fails.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Well, I have used SetCPU and Voltage Control (old and new versions) since Rodderiks first undervolt kernel. On demand governor has never failed me but that is a chance I take due to my extensive testing. I believe that the frequencies don't register right in CPU Spy hence they are "broke" every phone is different that way but I have used "on demand" since Genocide. .1 version. Its all trial and error. The same goes for SetCPU vs Voltage Control. Some phones like one better than the other. If a poll was done, you would probably see mixed opinions on which to use
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
100% agreed. While conservative is the only one that isn't technically "broken", ondemand works well due to the way it is designed. It scales the cpu less, but it does the job often times better than conservative.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Heck yeah. I run 1400/200. It grabs the 1400 to open apps or when the power is needed...hence on demand..then settles at 200 while I am reading and posting on XDA and such so it is actually very good on battery
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I don't want to hijack this thread about governor settings but this pic will give you an idea of how "on demand" distributes the power. PM me if you have any questions or need any help...

Since I reflashed this rom I cant connect to my PC anymore. This started yesterday so I reflashed from scratch and Im still unable to connect to my PC so I had to take the SD card out and install the rom files on it then i put it back in to reflash..

My phone says USB storage in use but I cant access it. Anyone have any idea what might be wrong or is my phone finally broke?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Edge-1337:
So I don't need to Odin or anything, i should be able to just go and flash this rom right over what I got?

I'm not looking to brick my phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stormglove:
I recommend odin to fresh ec05

then flash rom and kernel

Reboot

Flash fully loaded addon

Then you'll be good to go.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Grommish:
you are running a Gingerleak ROM, so yes, You will need to ODIN back to EC03 before using this, then you should install a EC03 Kernel.

Make sure your on the CWM Purple that'll handle both EXT4 and RFS and you'll be fine.

Thanks qbking77!!!... yeah it was from another deodexed rom... but the zip works!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ricosuave55:
I love this ROM so far. Flashed it yesterday and everything works perfectly, very zippy and clean.

The one thing I'm having an issue with is battery life. I don't think I've had much luck with ACS roms - in the past it's always sucked my battery fast... 1.2 has been much better but still not as good as I'm seeing other users get.

I've tried all the tricks including charging to 100% while phone is off, then clearing battery stats in CWM. I've minimized widgets (thought Fancy Widget Pro may have been a culprit), but still getting fast drain, although it's been much better on 1.2 than on previous versions of SFR.

Any other tips? Should I flash the Genocide kernel? Spare Parts doesn't show me anything glaring as the culprit in terms of battery drain.

I usually keep Wi-fi on 24/7 and keep 4G off. I only get 1 or 2 bars of 3G signal at home so I wonder if that could be it?

Thanks in advance for any additional tips/help you guys can lend and also for putting together a great rom - been a long time fan/lurker but finally wanted to post and send my thanks.

Cheers,

RS

I had this issue and installed an app named "improved email" from the market.... no more fc's....
[Epic 4G Android Development] BoominSVX:
I really like this rom. Unfortunately, it's giving me a little bit of a headache. I got this phone last night. It had a stock rom lifespan of about 15 minutes. I loaded up clockworkmod (orange one) to root and install syndicate 1.1.0 with my EC05 modem already there and working. It force closed immidiately after the splash screen with a force close on the setup wizard. So I grab odin, throw in a package including all stock EC05 shipped components, and put it back to stock. This time I went for a newer rom to be sure I had the newest stuff. Clockworkmod 3.1.0.1 (Purple) Genocide 2.0Voodoo, and Syndicate Frozen 1.2.

Outcome: Setup Wizard still force closes instantly with a black screen and nothing but the status bar. I've tried fix permissions, clear data, cache, delvik all 3x, and every step I could find searching the internet for almost 2 days straight. Eventually I got it to boot by removing the setup wizard, but there are some things missing by doing it this way and I know it's not right... like the lockscreen. Does anyone know a way to get around this? I'm coming from a TP2 on xdandroid, and though we were close there, I surely have much to learn about the epic.

Edit: I also tried installing it after the rom was running, but it would always force close.

Edit 2: Things seem to start looking grim right about here...

Are you sure you were at ec05 to begin with? I know its new, but my Epic had to do the OTA to ec05 outta the box..
[Epic 4G Android Development] BoominSVX:
Yes, I'm sure. Even if it wasn't I know it was the second time. I edited my previous post with a few relevant clips from logcat.

I'm going to try the full reflash with re-partitioning through odin tomorrow. Just wanted to make sure nobody had an issue like this in the past or a little input for the present.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Z had mentioned the correct apk and the other question is have you rebooted your phone since you moved it to /system/app?

I'm assuming you used something like Root Explorer to put it there, so you'll need to reboot your phone for it to show up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thatdudepoops:
Me personally I have excellent battery life. The best so far with the 8 r so roms I've tried. I get about 8 hours of Pandora on 3g and will still have 30%, or I've made it 3 days on lite weekend use. Very good rom ACS! very stable even undervolted :-)

I would upload pics to show but it says I have the wrong format type?

With voltage control I run:

100mhz...-175

200mhz...-125

400mhz...-100

600mhz...-75

800mhz...-125

1000mhz...-100

I also should give mad props to MysteryEmotionz for his additions to ACS frozen, with ur tweaks and customizations sir it would not have made my cut. Ur hard work is much appreciated sir.

On a side note I had my phone playing music, using stock player, on the hood of my truck, and the sun had reached it, I don't know how long it sat in the sun but when I reached it it was freakin scorching hot. I'm very sulfide the heat sensor didn't kick in and terminate...the phone and battery was almost to burn temp on the skin...no damage to the phone except when I powered down and cooled it off, I noticed when I rebooted that I had data corruption ..my question is what parts of my phone would most likely be damaged by the extreme heat and how could I check for faults? Thank u
[Epic 4G Android Development] ThunderOKC:
Just a warning, guys, as I was told to blame the SFR, which is what I'm using, there is a major bug with our Camera and Gallery. It seem to be that a directory max limit is 2GB (or in my case, 2.31GB) and it will not save new pictures and videos. It will not give any indication that its not saving. It will not create a 2nd folder when a folder reaches it max limit. So, keep watch and keep clearing them out (after transferring to a comp).

All the 100+ pix I took yesterday....not even saved. :-(
[Epic 4G Android Development] mlewin1:
MysteryEmotionz, i just want to say thank for all your hard work on this great ROM, it is by far the best ROM i have ever tired, ACS Team is by far the best out there.

Unstable

So I've finally been able to get this thing running... but the problem that I have is if I wipe data, I will get force-closes and an un-usable phone.

Here are the steps I take:

Flash with Odin: StockEC05NOCIQ-EXT4

Flash Purple CWM

Boot, get through set-up Wizard

Install 1.2 with CWM

Any similar stories or suggestions?

havent been on in awhile guys but can anyone help me out with why video recording constantly fails
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
If you reflash the rom... turn on journaling... look in the second post in this thread to learn how.

Have you tried going to settings, applications, manage, all and find video player and clear data?

If that doesn't work, try backing up sd card and formatting it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
did you flash kernel right after you flashed the rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
Try clearing data in the app that is causing the reboots.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
The phone will usually shut itself off if it reaches an extreme temperature, but in your case it didn't so I would think it wasn't too extreme. In terms of heat, these things are pretty robust and thus the only thing I would check is to make sure no plastic melted. Definitely not hot enough to melt solder so I wouldn't worry about that. As long as everything is still working hardware wise I would say your fine, just be careful. One time I was doing testing and apparently a ton of stuff was running in the background without me noticing and when I checked my battery temperature it was at like 112°f. I was kind of worried at that point, but everything was fine after turning it off and leaving next to a fan for a while.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Also, if you are running highly overclocked say 1400, video intensive apps and using certain music players can end up rebooting or freezing...just something I noticed running 1400/200 all of the time
[Epic 4G Android Development] ricosuave55:
I am currently only running 1.2 without any kernels flahsed on top. I typically keep sync on 24/7 and usually have wifi on also, but keep 4g and GPS off.

Today, I left my phone in the car at work, so I just grabbed it. With zero use, just idling, I'm down to 77% since I unplugged 6 hours ago. An hour later with VERY light use, I'm down to 70%.

Do you recommend a kernel to help w/ the battery life? I don't use any task killers or battery widgets either. I would LOVE to get 48 hours of light use, that just sounds unbelievable to me right now!
[Epic 4G Android Development] stormglove:
1.2 doesn't have a kernel so whatever you had before you are still using. As far as which one to use for battery seems to depend on your phone. I personally use genocide 2.0 but some say twilight 1.1.1 is best and others say vision. I'd say give them all a try to find the best.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thatdudepoops:
Thank u that calms me. I have never had a phone get that hot...well I had an oldie and the screen went black but at least I had enough common sense to leave it face down this time. Solders points were exactly my worry...seems to be working fine tho thx
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I decided to go back to Genocide 1.1 IAP kernel because "on demand" fluctuates between 200 and 100 even though my minimum is set st 200. The performance/battery life/stability seems top notch. Oh, journal data only...
[Epic 4G Android Development] CASHVILLEBOS:
Storm is right 1.2 doesn't have a kernel baked into it so you probably need ta flash one right after u flash the ROM but wow ur phone is draining pretty fast. Have u calibrated ur battery? Tht tends ta help sometimes. I highly recommend Twilight Zone 1.1.1 if u need a link its in my signature....Rods Genocide is a great kernel also I used it with Urban Fury but fa some reason my phone disliked the fact of bein hooked up wit this one. Like anyone else will tell u flash'em run'em thru a few test and see which one ur phone falls in love with. Hopes this helps and your able ta better ur battery life!

Some things like the home screen layout and apps copied over fine, but my wallpaper is default, my notification settings are set to default again, and it looks like only selective things copied over.

Yeah, I just realized why this was happening. I backed up in CWM purple but when I rebooted, it somehow loaded up CWM orange which I used to restore. I don't think that went too well. I'm not sure why but it's hit or miss as to which version of CWM loads when I start my phone. When I get the old 3.0.2.5, I have to reflash purple and restart and hope that it boots up into purple.

I do the 3x wipe religiously before restoring anything.

I just restored sfr 1.2 and flashed TZ 1.1.1 kernel. Fingers crossed that this does the trick! In my About Phone section, the Kernel Version is listed as 2.6.32.9 - is that correct?

Build number is Twilight Zone v1.1RC2 - Hajime-taisho.

Could one of you guys tell me how to remove the lock screen app this rom comes with? i want to use WP7Lock and it wont over ride the included lock screen so I have to unlock the phone twice if i use WP7Lock.

[Epic 4G Android Development] mouseglider:
I am one of those confused noobs - can you explain this to me?

The epic has a:

1) a rom

2) a modem

3) a kernel

Is the modem part of the rom? Or is the modem part of the kernel? Or can it be either depending on how the devloper packages it. Or is it it simply three seperate parts?

I say this because some roms have kernels and some don't, and it seems like even the kernel has two kernels, the boot kernel and the recovery kernel?

I wish there was a standard that said roms are roms, kernels are kernels, and if you want to modify them than the testing or trying out phase I think would be less confusing. :confused: :o for being :confused:

Thanks for all your help - I am a lucky noob, cause I must say, I am very happy with my phone, but as always everything to a certain degree could be better.

Thank You!
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Me neither. I don't need it. Plus, I like stability and undervolting just adds an unknown variable.
[Epic 4G Android Development] The Root:
They are three seperate parts. People include what they design and the other parts are optional. Only one that i know has to formally come from the company is the modem because it controls how your phone behaves with their services. Rom is kind of your base software with User Interface and main functionality. Kernel is going to have controls over the main brain of how things operate. Kind of a Medula if you want to put it in brain-like terms or the instinctive stuff.

I have noticed when switching between GB and Froyo, I have to wipe battery stats and calibrate battery. Also, once you are on 1.2, give it a few full cycles on the battery (charge, let it drain,charge,etc) and use for a day or two before determining how good the battery is. I have noticed that the battery seems to get "conditioned" to the setup I am running but it takes a few cycles...may work for you

I've been using this for a month or so, and it's been great. As of lately, though, the capacitive buttons have been unresponsive. They flash when I touch them, but that doesn't do anything within the OS. I wiped when I first flashed it, and ideally I'd like to avoid doing it again, especially if the same thing could happen. Any ideas?

Note: Hardware buttons on the keyboard work, for whatever reason.

Edit: Apparently, the capacitive buttons work with the keyboard open as well, but not otherwise.
