So Launcher Pro is still having problems. When I reboot and the media card scan finishes Launcher Pro will fail asking me is I want to Force Close or Wait. If I wait it will finally work and if I Force Close the screen icons will disappear and then come right back and work properly. It happens on every boot up. I cleared data for Launcher Pro and it still happened. I fresh installed SRF 1.2 and it still happens. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Testing out EH06.

Day 1: Its eating away at my battery like a fat kid with a cake. fffff- Got to charge and recalibrate my battery stats.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mouseglider:
Yup, that works too because it does almost the same as an external charger - it is only charging the battery, not the phone to keep it running plus the battery, but as I said, buying a charger is really the way to go, because you can use your phone immediately simply by swapping batteries - you don't have to NOT use your phone. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] vwags:
Thanks Root. I went to the Market and it said there was an update for Launcher Pro which I thought I would start with and it seems to have fixed it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
For those that think I care about the battery charing I dont. I was just bringing it up becuase someone else did. I have a charger at work and an extra two batteries at home. So you do not need to comment on if I care about the battery anymore

Also are there any cool things I can do with the rom besides the tethering.

So my brother has been running this rom for a few months then it started eating battery and tons of force closes.... couldnt even get phone calls or get to the launcher then when i went into recovery it wouldnt back up said creating backup image failed. Any one have an idea of what went wrong

I've done this numerous times. Still at some point it starts to FC upon reboot. I've set high memory settings and disabled FC's in the Launcher Pro settings as suggested in this thread to no avail.

Any other suggestions?

If your gonna buy an external charger ur better off jst buyin a Extended Battery....bought mine off of Amazon and I haven't worried about battery life since! Honestly though if I didn have it I would still rather bump charge than waste my money on a ext charger (my personal opinion). Oh and everytime I've ever bump charger my phone stayed at 100% longer than 10mins....with light use of course.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bgaimur:
I used an extended battery from eBay (china), and it stopped holding a charge last week. I went back to my regular battery, and I can say that I really missed having a much thinner phone.

That said, anyone found an extended battery that isn't larger in size?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mouseglider:
I guess each to their own - I like the lightness and thiness of the stock battery since I carry it in my pocket which is also why I don't use a case - but in fairness I use to use a thicker extended battery and it actually made my phone more comfortable to hold (old Samsung i330).

I simply like to pop a new battery every morning and simply rotate my batteries. One battery a day (about 12 hours on a cheap battery and about 20 hours on an OEM battery). This is with GPS on all the time, wifi on all the time with no special tricks or software to save battery - all my radios are turned on and ready to go at any time.

I also said it would hold 100% for at least 10min as a minimum - I have had it stay at 100% for an hour, granted it was not used :D

Edit: Also how many minutes does it take you to bump charge and re-bump charge to get your battery to 100% compared to simply swapping batteries - when you are rushing out of the house and want a 100% charge, I'll take a battery swap any day of 10 seconds or less - and yes I have tried bump charging on my phones and use to bump charge on RC cars, so I know all the little tricks
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
For some reason today I was geting a bunch of force closes. Message, swype, android system, etc. So I reflashed the rom because maybe it was something I installed. Was working great for 3-4 days. So we shall see.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Yup, two stock batteries and an external charger works perfect for me!
[Epic 4G Android Development] duck867:
You had corrupted data. Probably because of an incorrect shutoff, like pulling the battery. You can avoid this by turning on journaling, look for the file on the first page. You'll lose a little performance so it's a preference call.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
What type of performance loss and what exactly does it do?

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
By performance its basically overall speed. When journaling is on, your phone caches data in between "commands" (opening/closing apps) so getting corrupted data is pretty hard to get with this, but since the phone is caching data in between actions, you will see just a tiny bit of speed loss. Its barely noticeable, I personally never have any corruptions so I keep journaling off, but others get a lot of corruptions for some reason, so journaling is the best way to solve that problem
[Epic 4G Android Development] jk175d:
so it's been a really long time since any new action on a Syndicate Rom. Since this one has been my favorite, along with Quantum which also stopped development long ago, but I'm sort of itching to try something new... what is a more recent ROM people are digging these days? I liked this one and quantum because they were nice and streamlined focusing on performance not style. What's out there that you guys like?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
I am guessing if you had issues like mine installing journal after the fact will not really do anything for you?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
Also if you this does happen and you do not have journaling turned on there is nothing that can be done?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Killasmoke:
All you have to do is reflash the rom all all over again so wipe data 3x cache partiton 3x & dalvik cache 3x flash the kernel then flash journaling on reboot & you good to go! ;)

[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
Might be a bad download with corrupted files. You should try and re-download the ROM, wipe everything 3x, and reflash the ROM and the journaling zip and that should fix your problems. If not, the last resort could be to ODIN back to stock EC05 and re-root/flash SRF and kernel again (also remember to flash the journaling zip)
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
I understand that, but you lose everything you had installed and have to redownload it again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Do you hav3 Nandroid backup from brdire the corruption?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
If u have a nandroid backup from before the corruption, you can restore that. Otherwise, you can use Titanuim Backup from the market (free) and use that to backup your apps so u can restore them after a fresh install, although I would still advice that you clear all of your app's cache and data just to be sure
[Epic 4G Android Development] BigJPNut:
Does anybody know where the files for the baked in Adblock are located? I found this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11296929&postcount=332 and was wondering if it applies to this rom? Idk, just bored lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
That post is dated back from the 12th of February, so I'm willing to bet that our baked in mod has that fix already.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BigJPNut:
I was thinking the same thing but I was bored and was wondering where the files were located anyways? lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mo6152:
Looks awesome!

Two questions, though.

1. I have version 1.1.1 atm, do I still have to go back to stock EC05, or what?

2. Now this will erase all my apps, correct? If so, then how do I keep all my apps when updating to this?

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
1. No, you can flash over 1.1.1 after wiping cache and dalvik cache, or do a clean flash after wiping everything 3x. Followed by flashing a kernel of your choice and journaling on.

2. Yes, use titanium backup for apps or just download them again in the market. I usually only use titanium for apps that I can't get on the market, like telenav etc...

I like to use dolphin browser mini to save and restore bookmarks. Also, I like to save and restore homescreen settings in launcher pro. Make a nandroid first just in case.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mo6152:
Even though I'm still using Clockwork 3.0.0.6? Do I really have to update my clockwork?

EDIT: Nvm, I just used the update to 3.1 and it worked.

I have one last question, however. I updated to this from version 1.1.1, but did not install a kernel. Does that mean its still using the 1.1.1 kernel?

If so, then is that bad?
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
Yes it does mean you are using the kernel that was including in 1.1.1.

No. Twilight Zone 1.1.0 is rock solid.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TurboFool:
Just a quick superfluous note: After months of battling with my Android phone, using various ROMs that were decent but gave me various issues, and some time spent on Gingerbread leaks that were nothing but frustration, I finally tried this in combination with Genocide 2.0 and V6 Supercharger. I feel like I'm finally back to having a phone I love now. It's insanely responsive and quick and does everything I ask it to do as I want it to. I'm going to feel much more comfortable skipping the Galaxy SII that I was desperate for and holding out for the first ICS phone on Sprint.

I just wanted to give a shout out to the authors of SyndicateROM Frozen. About a month ago, I had my Epic 4G replaced with a new Epic 4G, and the stock ROM that was on the phone was really messing up. I constantly had crashes on the phone, it would sometimes crash after it fully recharged, and the response was sometimes sluggish at best. Anyway, I decided to say screw it, and decided to flash over Genocide and SyndicateROM Frozen. All I can say is that the phone has worked fine so far, except for a hiccup last night, which seems to have gone away.

The phone doesn't crash anymore, it's snappy and it's very beautiful to look at. So, to get the the point, thank you. There were many ROMs I could have chosen from, but your ROM represented the best bet I had for a stable phone once more.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Scott Summers:
Arguably the most stable ROM I've flashed on my Epic but I do have a slight problem that I'm not sure how to fix.

How do I keep "voltage control" in memory? It doesn't start up even after saving the boot and profile. Thoughts?
[Epic 4G Android Development] The Root:
Have you uninstalled and reinstalled the app from the market or verified you have no updates waiting?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Scott Summers:

[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
Hi. I am also getting the force closes and corruption due to a battery removal.

I have to check but I think I have a nandroid that is not too old - I may try that.

The issue is I am out of the country so I cannot connect to Sprint for another week. If I need to do the 3x wipe and reinstall the rom will that be an issue?

If nandroid works I will flash the zip to enable journaling

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1071723

Should that work?

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Yes, wipe everything 3x, reflash the ROM, immediately flash journal on zip, then reboot. You shouldn't have to reflash the kernel. The journal on zip helps a lot.

Hey guys, I just flashed SRF 1.2 and Genocide 2.0 Kernel.

I started by Odin to stock EC05, then flashed SRF 1.2, then the Kernel.

When the phone is charging it is not correctly listing the battery charge. It is stuck on 70, but when I unplug it reads the correct value.

I have tried clearing the battery status from CWM, but that didn't help.

What can I do to fix this?

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
When charging, it displays in 10% increments. If you add a theme with 1% battery mod, it will show that way when charging

EDIT: No auto app killer except Juice Defender. Hmmm, does voltage control need to be in memory after it runs?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
If you select your Voltage Control settings, click "Apply" then select the option to set on boot then Juice Defender may be killing Voltage Control because the settings should definately be sticking on reboot if you set it to
[Epic 4G Android Development] ScottSNX:
Don't see a place to enable the "data" toggle on/off from the pull down statusbar, only the "4G" one. On other roms I was able to edit the things that showed up on the pull down taskbar under Settings>Lockscreen but I don't see that here. I'm using SRF 1.2 and Genocide 2.0 Kernel.

Kind of a noob at this, but is this a kernel specific thing or a rom specific thing? Is there a .zip file I can flash that would enable the extra setting in there?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rpmccormick:
HELP!

1) Rooted and installed purple CW 3.1.0.1 a week ago and did a backup.

2) Verified phone is EC05 (not OTA, as received from Sprint) stock.

3) Did another backup.

4) Did a 3 wipe (factory, then cache, then dalvik)

5) Flashed srf-1.2-final.zip

Phone hangs on samsung logo (left it for >10 min)

6) Restored latest backup

Phone hangs on samsung logo (left it for >5 min)

7) Did a 3 wipe then restored earlier backup

Phone hangs on samsung logo (left it for >5 min)

....so, now what? I'm downloading an ODIN image now. Any other recommendations (as I need a phone NOW and this ODIN images says it will take 2 hours from multiupload direct)?

Please help!

Do I need to convert to EXT4 as part of this process?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
You're just about there. 1.2 doesn't come with a kernel. All you need to do is flash a kernel and reboot and you will be good. Most people are using Genocide 1.1 Final or 2.0 and Twilight 1.1.1. ....EDIT...wipe everything 3x, re-flash SRF 1.2, flash journal on zip, flash kernel, reboot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
rom specific.. you have to be on gingerbread.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Like the guy above me said, I think you can change this in GB-only ROMs. However, in most Froyo ROMs, there is a data option if you hold the power button down. It's not in the notification bar, but you can still easily get to it. Hold power button down, click the 'Data Network Mode' and you should be able to turn off all data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rpmccormick:
Thanks! It would be nice to mention that in the OP, or did I just miss it? I'm also still very confused why doing a restore from stock backup did not fix it.

Long live XDA and this awesome community. I really appreciate the immediate help in bringing my phone back to life. (thanks button pressed)
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I was wondering myself why the nandroid restore didn't get you back up since it saves your kernel as well but I knew the way I said would work for sure so...and thanks for the thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Scott Summers:
Success! As it turned out, it was SYSTEM PANEL; the software I was using to monitor my phone that was killing "voltage control". There's a setting to prevent the OS from killing system panel so if you have it on, the OS will strangely kill voltage control instead.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Glad you got it worked out. This is a fast, smooth, stable ROM so I am sure you will enjoy it
[Epic 4G Android Development] Scott Summers:
False alarm. :-( After a short one hour of idle (screen off), a quick check in memory revealed no voltage control running in the back ground. Juice defender was off. System panel was off. No worries though. The ROM is solid and will do just fine until Nexus Prime. Thanks everyone for the help!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ScottSNX:
Thanks. Just came from the ERA rom and that's one of the features I missed. Ended up putting a widget on the home screen.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
If you are using genocide, uninstall the new version of voltage control and use the 3.0 version linked in the genocide thread op. He designed the kernel to work with that version and I know newer versions cause that exact issue you are having.

Your kinda outta luck there man.
