Superuser outdated

I am running SRF- (after getting fed up with GB Leaks - reboots) anyway - love it - very fast - great battery - but I got notificaiton tody saying the Superuser is outdated - click for update - when I tried to update it says it oculd not update in the ROM I was using and that I needed to install a new rom -

Any suggestions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Comando156:
Hmmm automatically updated for me....
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Won't update the binary with this ROM. It works fine though, just go in the settings and turn the binary notification off.
[Epic 4G Android Development] The Root:
That's kernel related on the Epic. Which kernel do you run?
[Epic 4G Android Development] The Root:
Please provide setup and details. I have never experienced anything remotely like this and would like to help you solve it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Thanks for the correction, I run Twilight Zone. Works great for me. I just disable the binary notification on the SU app
[Epic 4G Android Development] jered6323:
So I'm still pretty new to all this, but I'm catching on quickly. I'll probably end up flashing over tomorrow to SyndicateROM, but I have a few questions. I notice that it says this rom will backup and restore all my data, but how does that happen if I have to to a factory reset before I flash it? Also, does that mean everything is backed up and restored, or only certain things? What is the recommended procedure I should follow for making sure all my stuff comes with me to the new rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
It is recommended to wipe everything, the backup can cause problems UNLESS you're flashing over a previous version of SRF.

My Backup Root or Titanium Backup can backup your apps, just don't restore data unless you want to risk lots of force closes.

Whatever you do, don't restore a nandroid backup (from ClockworkMod), that will overwrite the rom install because it backs up/restores the entire system

[Epic 4G Android Development] jered6323:
I paid for titanium backup soon after I got my phone, for the security of having a backup, so that'll work for what I need then. On to the next. I understand that I need to flash a kernel, and the directions I've found for that are solid and understandable, but I'm wondering is there any reason I'll ever need the stock kernel again? Should I back it up (if there is even a method) or download it from somewhere just to have on hand, or would that be wasting my time?

Side note: I notice your signature says something about posting from a Cyanogen Modded Epic. I thought they weren't going to support the Epic 4g, or are you referring to the touch?
[Epic 4G Android Development] caileb:
It's an alpha build for our Epic

[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
I doubt you will ever need the stock kernel. I've flashed and stuck with a custom kernel ever since I rooted. I personally just keep the Twilight Zone and Genocide kernels on my SD card just in case I. If u want the closest thing to stock tho, you can download DRockstar's "Clean Kernel" which is basically the stock kernel+root and minor tweaks. It should be stickied under this subforum up top somewhere, probably somewhere in the CWM 3.0.1.0 thread I believe.

As for your CyanogenMod question, a lot of ppl have doubted the Epic would ever be supported since we've had LOTS of trouble porting CM7 (and even CM6) to the Epic. So far tho, one of our great devs (Decad3nce) and a couple friends (jt, nullghost, and a few others I forgot) have done a nice job of working on it. We've got it mostly working with just a lot of minor bugs to work out. So far, we're just officially waiting on GB source, which should help us immensely. Deca said we would see CM7, and I believe him, so we will see CM7 in time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
The stock kernel is easy enough to obtain, via Odin at the very least (if a flashable zip isn't available). And it's always good to have Odin as an option, just in case

But he's right, you probably won't care to return to full stock unless you brick or have to have it swapped out or fixed at a Sprint store. Still, have Odin and a stock tar handy for emergencies. It's not too difficult, there are just some details to be careful about, and a known potential problem with stock USB cables

And i'm running Decadence's kang of CM - it runs smooth, battery is great, and the broken or missing parts haven't been vital so far :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] jered6323:
Thank you everyone for answering my questions, your experience helps a ton. A few more questions left and I'll be done, I promise.

That's the only reason I thought I might need the stock kernel, was for swapping it with Sprint. I did some searching and found a thread for exactly what I was looking for (LINK, if anyone is looking for it).

I really like what the developer has done for the theme in this build, but I don't know if I'm ready to go all in on it. Is there any way I can get the default theme back, or would I have to search around and find a theme as close as possible to apply?
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
The reRFS rom is stock. That theme is the stock EC05 theme.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
Stupid double post....
[Epic 4G Android Development] jered6323:
So, do you mean it's proprietary to Samsung's rom, or that it's still present in SyndicateROM, just covered up?
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Theming involves REPLACING images - Syndicate rom overwrites the stock theme

Stock isn't exactly proprietary... It always refers to the original that came on that device, which in this case implies Samsung's version (touch wiz IS proprietary, but the rest of the framework on which it is built, is not)

I loaded this rom on my co-workers phone but he said that he has been getting random reboots throughout the day. I'm thinking it my be kernel related as we have not added any other tweaks or voltage changes.

What are the best kernels for this rom? I'm wanting to try some others.......he is currently running Genocide 2.0.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Genocide is a pretty good kernel for most people, but if he's not having good luck with it, you could certainly try the latest Twilight kernel (which is usually the one incorporated with ACS ROMs) or the latest Revolted kernel. That's the one I'm using, and while I believe it was based on Genocide 2.0, I find it to play a bit nicer with my phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lcovel:
Give Revolted+kernel a try. I had a few problems with sleep locking when I was using Genocide v2.0. Havent had that issue since trying Revolted+Kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
anyone have link to that updated kOane Twilight Zone kernel ? do U know if he updated the binary issue ? THX :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
I think Zanderman retweeted the link, maybe 20 pages back... (the app makes it a pain in the ass to copy links, or I'd bring it to the recent end of the thread again).

But it still has the binary installed in the /sbin directory, where changes will be lost on reboot

Sent from my CyanogenMODed Epic
[Epic 4G Android Development] The Root:
But it's the correct binary version, so you won't get an update notice. It's a much better kernel. Ext tweaks as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
K - THX - I was hoping maybe kOane had updated it already and I don't "tweet" so I couldn't tell= THX ! :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] jockovonred:
to load is it as simple as placing the tz-111-k0-signed.zip onto the SDCard and loading via CMW? or are there other steps needed to get it up and running?
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
You are correct, just flash - wouldn't hurt to wipe the cache and dalvik cache first, though

If you're on SRF, you can just flash without wiping.

No updates

Why is it that none of my updates works. I'm trying to update my PRL but it either errors out or tells me that there is no prl to update. When on 1.1.1 I updated to modem EF02 and could not do a firmware update to EF10. I can't even do a profile update. Now I got these same issues with 1.2.

What can be wrong? Btw, I'm now on 1.2 as of last night.

TIA,

This is great. It's the first SFR that I have been able to run without significant issues since 1.0.2! I really didn't except my device to take it.

Wondering if it was kernel related. I was using SFR1.0.2 with genocide 1.1 and ee03 modem. My epic won't take any kind of UV, but takes the oc great.

I just wiped and flashed this. The gingerbread keyboard is the only thing giving me even the slightest of issues.

Its taken me a few hour to get comfortable with launcher pro, but I'm starting to like it. Love the screen rotation without sliding the keyboard out.

[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
Sprint fix, fully loaded, should be out within the next couple days. The am/pm restore should still work.

For those who don't know how to change the lockscreen its in settings.

As far as AndroidCreativeSyndicate showing up as a missed call when a text comes in is beyond me. That was not done on purpose and I will be looking into it and getting a fix out as quick as possible.

For those that flashed this over 1.1.1 and it still says 1.2 its because the kernel sets the name not the rom. I assure you your on 1.2. Did the theme change? Notice a new lock screen?

[Epic 4G Android Development] jered6323:
I have been using this rom all day, and absolutely love it. Very happy I gave it a try. One of the only things I find myself still wanting, is the default Clock app. It had a stopwatch, timer, world time, and alarm all in one. Any way I can bring that back?

thanks for the Clock apk, when I copy/paste it from sd/download to move it to system/app using Adaofile manager I get the message "insufficient permission", do I need to edit the file or change settings somewhere to get it to work?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jered6323:
I tried Adao at first, with the same result. I ended up doing it with Root Explorer ($4) which worked fine. There's a way to do it with adb shell from your computer, but I'm not very experienced with it.

EDIT: I forgot about ES File Explorer, which is free. You just have to go into settings and check "Root Explorer" and "Mount File System" and you will be able to copy/paste over.

[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
If you used Titanium Backup or another backup program, you should be able to go in there (filter based on uninstalled apps) and restore it. If you do that, be sure to pick both App+Data. If you didn't, I'm assuming you probably wiped your data when you flashed the new ROM, in which case that data is gone. If you just flashed right over it without wiping data, you might be able to find the memo.apk from another ROM, install it, and see if you can bring it back that way.

I remember reading something like this before, and I believe it has something to do with Voodoo Sound. I cannot remember exactly what, but if you start searching the thread, that should eventually turn up your answer. I believe there is an option in there you need to change.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lorenza:
I just had to post this. I've been using SRF with the Genocide kernel and was quite pleased. Just for $#!ts and grins I flashed Twilight and holy crap. Battery is beyond phenominal. After 26 hours starting at the typical 96% full charge, I am still at 87% (with light to moderate use). Why is it that we are so anxious for Gingerbread? If I can't get this kind of life from GB, (and so far all of the leaks are fairly disappointing) I may not change. Yeah, Right!

I tried using my Titanium Backup backups to restore the App+Data, and just the App alone, but it just sits on the "Restoring" screen forever without doing anything, whereas other Apps take a matter of seconds. I'm thinking of just pushing the data file onto my girlfriend's stock epic, copying my memos over to Evernote, and then just using Evernote from now on.

I also tried pulling the APK out of the stock Epic ROM and pushing it into System/App, but it would never show up in the Apps list.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ArchangelRenzoku:
The newer versions of TB are supposed to have fixed that. Make sure you clear the cache in recovery before trying to do that though, the dev says the cache causes an issue when restoring apps that were just uninstalled.

You can't just insert it into the ROM, I think you're going to have to re-compile the rom after you've made changes because the manifest.mf and the script that runs the setup for the ROM in CWM doesn't update with the new apps in system/app automatically unless the rom has been recompiled. Either that or you can open the files manually using something like notepad and edit them yourself to include the new apk you inserted.

I AM NOT AN EXPERT, someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm here to learn.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sephiroth009:
You were trying to restore memo? System apps never do install for me but there's usually a better alternative to them anyway. Like inkpad, same as memo except it also links up to your google account so you can view it from any device.

[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
If you restore a system app (or push something to system) you need to reboot the device for it to show up. If you've done this and rebooted, and you're still not seeing it, I would then use Root Explorer or Super Manager to navigate there and try to open the apk manually and see what happens.
